Our Client's Reviews

I used Susan Kim for a difficult family law matter and she protected me from a dangerous situation. I was ready to give up but she managed to get me support and a parenting arrangement that I could live with. She guided me through a difficult process. I am glad to have met her to get me through such a difficult time on [of] my life.

  • Jinny K.

    Vancouver, BC

I contacted Susan after I spent about a year with another lawyer and got nowhere with my child support and guardianship issues. Susan looked over my case and quite quickly (on her part) put together a reasonable agreement. I was led [lead] in the right direction and had full confidence in her. She seems to care and aggressively tried to get to justice within the realm she's dealt. What was set up for myself and my son made me feel confident and protected going forward. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants their family issues resolved.

  • L.

    Coquitlam, BC

After a property dispute with my relatives, I didn't know what I should do. Susan Kim helped me alleviate my distress and guided me through the legal proceedings in both domestic and foreign courts. In the end, results have been satisfying, and I can't thank her enough!

  • Y.

    Maple Ridge, BC

Susan Kim helped me get through a difficult family law matter during a painful time in my life. She persevered and diligently handled negotiations even when the other side wanted to litigate. She dealt with the bank and realtor and persisted even when I didn't want to. I got through it with her help.

  • Koffi M.

    New Westminster, BC 

Most firms are quick to retain cases but after that they take so long processing or communicating. You [Ms. Kim] reply [replied] fast to inquiries [which] was important to me. U [Ms. Kim] care[s] about individual circumstances.  U [Ms. Kim] need[s] to let women know there are ways to do it [financially]. After Susan Kim helped me through my divorce I realized that instead of surviving I was going to thrive!

  • J.

    Surrey, BC

Susan offered tremendous help during my [the] most difficult time following my divorce [separation]. I was not familiar with [the] Canadian family law but she clarified my rights and explained all that I was entitled to, which helped me secure time with my son.

The divorce process was emotionally very difficult for me, but thanks to Susan, my financial assets were protected, and the legal process was clean. Meeting Susan was a great fortune for me, and with her help, I could move onto the next stage of my life.
