Testimonials
Due to the higher standards that John and his team held themselves to, upon the conclusion of a 5-week jury trial, justice prevailed and the jury awarded our family companies almost $100 million dollars. Their relentless work ethic, personal and business sacrifices, integrity, courage to seek justice against multi-billion dollar companies, dedication to excellence, detailed preparation, team work, confidence and sense of humor… all of this and more were deeds and attributes that our family witnessed and can attest to first hand.

A juror, From an oil and gas dispute John Kim tried in state court in Houston
“John Kim is a fine lawyer. He is very strong in connecting with juries, and he has a big personality. He is from the cut of the larger-than-life plaintiff trial lawyer.”
Peer lawyer, In Benchmark Litigation 2016, which recommends John and the firm
“I can’t recommend John highly enough. Incredibly good at what he does, and if he tells you it is a case he can handle, you should let him handle it. He is a superb judge of character and at evaluating cases. He gets great results, is creative and has a high level of integrity.”
Todd Richey, Business owner who has hired Mr. Kim to handle several legal matters
John is a talented lawyer who just “gets it.” He can be tenacious and shrewd, but perhaps his greatest strength is that he knows how and when to optimize the decision points in a case which usually enable his clients to realize the most favorable outcome. And if the other side is not bright enough to realize that John’s views are the right ones, he has the capability to take the case to trial, and convince 12 fine citizens that his way is the right way.
Stewart Hoffer, Attorney
This was a bet-the-company case and John only had it for 60 days or so before the trial. I was comfortable at the courthouse, like somebody had my back, somebody cared. John was well-prepared; he was aggressive when he needed to be. He did his job and we won. I couldn’t praise him more in this situation.
Shane Sims, President, Environmental Packaging Technologies Limited
John is one of the best lawyers I’ve ever seen. I was his co-counsel on an African oil and gas royalty lawsuit. Thanks to his magnificent organization and deposition skills, he found the collateral legal issues that highlighted the risks for the other side, which was a big company. Our clients were ecstatic. The magnitude of the confidential settlement was beyond their wildest hopes.
Charles A. Sharman, Co-counsel with John Kim on an oil & gas royalty lawsuit
I sent Mr. Kim a thank you note after being on a jury when he was the lawyer. He was so respectful of the jury and all our different backgrounds. He was very nice to the jurors in the way he presented things clearly. He was down to earth. If I’m ever in trouble, I would want him to represent me.
A juror, From an energy litigation case John Kim tried in Harris County
Texas Standard Oil Company retained Mr. John Kim to represent the company in a complex oil & gas case in Federal Court on very short notice when previous counsel became unavailable. Mr. Kim not only got up to speed in record time; he performed brilliantly, winning very favorable jury verdicts on every issue. His skill in making complex issues understandable marks him as a rare and extraordinarily talented litigator.
Charles A. Sharman, President, Texas Standard Oil
I have known and tried cases with John Kim for many years. The most succinct way to sum up his passion for and expertise in trial law is that while all trial attorneys like to win; with John it’s a necessity! John devours a client’s case, including the facts, the law, and most importantly the unique details involved in each matter to turn the tide toward resolution, or he works tirelessly toward a trial verdict in excess of what the other side thought possible.
Pete T. Patterson, Houston
John Kim is a diamond in the rough among trial lawyers. He worked on a case for years with our firm, travelling from Houston to Columbus, and made an impression with everyone he met here, from opposing counsel to the trial judge. His courtroom skills are unsurpassed and his passion for justice is a true credit to our profession.
Jami S. Oliver, Esq., Oliver Law Offices, Inc.
John, I want to personally thank you and your firm for all the hard work and effort put into my case, you were put behind the “Eight Ball” from the get go but you made it work nonetheless. “David slew the giant” thanks to your team. I highly recommend your firm. Thanks.
Paul Harper, Strategy Sources President
We knew we were in the midst of greatness the first time we met with you. We saw the fierceness of your eyes, heard the anger in your voice, and thereby felt assured of the intensity of your willingness to represent us. We’ll admit, however, that we didn’t know we were in the presence of damn GENIUS! We knew you had experience & success in the field of drug liability. We also knew we had been to Hell and Back with the severity of our two-year health crisis and there was a good chance that our case would be impossible to prove. After all, who would believe that a flu shot could cause a perfectly healthy man with no prior health issues to become paralyzed from the neck down from something called Guillain-Barre syndrome & have to spend over nine months in an in-patient hospital bed on a ventilator & a stomach tube? We now know we needn’t have worried. At the mediation hearing, we were totally blown away by your level of preparedness. The fact that you would single-handedly go head to head with FOUR attorneys representing the pharmaceutical co. was absolutely mind-boggling. We were simply awestruck by the skill of your presentation & your sound judgment of which “buttons to push” to make the best impression. When you were finished, we realized that we had just witnessed an Academy Award performance that should have received an Oscar! And, unfortunately, we didn’t have a tape recorder, a video camera or even one piece of paper for our book of memories. Your immense talent is “over the top!” The medical profession pulled Chuck through after a very long time. But you, my friend, saved our financial lives and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
