“Kim has been special counsel to the City of McCall regarding a number of significant issues. In each case, Kim’s incisive analysis of both the legal issues and the strategic position of the City were critical in reaching a successful conclusion. He has a well-honed ability to see the larger landscape of a case and develop a strategy which will result in the best possible outcome for his client. Kim’s particular expertise and background in construction matters has been very beneficial to the City. Having seen both successful projects and problematic ones from beginning to end has shown him what works and what doesn’t. He is able to effectively apply those lessons to projects of all sizes and types.”

“I work with a broad spectrum
of accomplished attorneys: litigators, transactional specialists, et. al. Kim
represents the apex of both personal and professional competency in that elite
group. He is genuinely personable and focused on the benefits to others he
provides. I have been with him in stressful situations and have checked my own
frustrations because of the even-keeled emotional and intellectual leadership
he provides. He is-as the saying goes-about the last person you want as
Opposing Counsel, and it is my honor to recommend him both personally and
professionally.”

"I first met Kim in Lewiston, Idaho. My lead partner David Hamilton, at Bradson International Services Inc., and I drove all the way from Seattle. That started a productive and successful business relation over several years involving multiple legal jurisdictions, state laws in the United States and Canada. Amongst the states were Idaho, Tennessee, North and South Carolina and Florida.
I have the highest regard for Kim. As a business person and not a lawyer, his legal advice is clear and deep. He brings to the issues and legal problem-solving a measured boldness that proved successful in a set of commercial cases, which resulted in satisfactory winning outcomes and recovery.
As I look back to those years of the early 1990's, we have developed a friendship over the past fifteen years! The last occasion we had a long sought after re-union, I flew in to Seattle from the Orient and he [Kim) flew to Washington via Boise to Seattle! David was unable to join as he was tied down with his new film project.
This is a testimony of a professional relationship that has grown into an international friendship."

"I have worked as co-counsel with Kim on a variety of complex litigation and business issues since the mid-1980's. Kim's ability to transform complex construction and business problems into pragmatic and cost-effective legal results through negotiation and, occasionally, through challenging litigation, has been appreciated repeatedly."
