‘The Man From Lubbock’ highlights impressive three-decade legal career
HOUSTON – Accomplished civil trial lawyer and founder of The Kim Law Firm John H. Kim is the subject of a new profile article in the 2024 edition of Texas Super Lawyers Magazine.
The piece by veteran journalist Marc Ramirez takes a closer look at Mr. Kim’s childhood in Lubbock, his time at the University of Texas at Austin and South Texas College of Law in Houston, the beginning of his legal career with the boutique personal injury firm Fisher, Gallagher, Perrin & Lewis, and starting the firm that bears his name in 2003.
“Marc really did cover the full spectrum of where I started, all the way through a three-decade career in law that continues to be my primary passion,” said Mr. Kim. “I’m very pleased with the way the story turned out.”
The profile coincides with Mr. Kim’s 22nd year to be included on the Texas Super Lawyers list as well as his repeat selections to the elite legal publication’s Top 100 lists for Houston and for the state of Texas. This is no mean feat, considering that only about 5% of practicing attorneys in the state are selected each year.
In addition to Texas Super Lawyers, Mr. Kim is regularly included in some of the nation’s top legal guides and publications. He is a repeat Best Lawyers in America honoree and has been recognized for excellence on several Lawdragon specialty listings. He has also been honored as a “Litigation Star” by Benchmark Litigation every year since 2013.
The Kim Law Firm is considered one of the most formidable practices of its kind: a bet-the-company firm that successfully handles high-stakes, complex commercial litigation, high-profile personal injury cases and pharmaceutical and medical liability cases. Mr. Kim and his colleagues at the firm have won or saved their clients more than $1 billion.
