I contacted Gretchen August 2019. we finished the divorce proceeding October 2021 during this entire time i had a person i could trust and count on who is keenly aware of the law. Gretchen made my life for two years more bearable simply becuase i had her on my team. I want to tell you all what a experienced lawyer Gretchen is. i want to tell you what a compassionate person Gretchen is. I want to recommend Gretchen to you; you will be rewarded by choosing Gretchen as your Lawyer. i wish i could talk to each of you in person to tell you how much it will mean to have Gretchen on your team, she is a great Lawyer and equally a great human being.

Gretchen recently helped our family through a complex and emotional legal matter. We found Gretchen by reference after leaving another large "fancy" and expensive law firm which was not giving our case any proactive thought despite the enormous bills, which was causing great anxiety. Gretchen quickly jumped in, got up to speed on the entire history of the case file, gave us her point of view on how to handle things and did so with great diligence to the law, great compassion for the people involved and great efficiency. She accomplished more in a couple of months than we had been able to achieve in a year with the big firm. Also, as a seasoned professional who has "seen this before" many times over, she provided much-needed insight, wisdom and perspective of what she has seen happen often 5 to 10 years down the road after legal matters such as these. Thinking beyond the moment we were in provided some comfort and perspective when making decisions along the way. We were not receiving such counsel from the junior attorney (who knew nothing) or the senior attorney (who popped in for 15 minutes here and there) on our case at the big firm. When choosing her, we did some research online and I recall a review that described her a fiercely knowledgeable and effective in court but with "the bedside manner of Mother Theresa" with her clients. Those words really stuck with me and they are true. She is very smart and effective, knows the law and can go head to head with the worst of them. But she is also an honest and empathetic human who tells you what you need to hear (even when its not in your favor) in a way that helps you understand all the legal issues so you can make an informed decision. She is truly about helping the client achieve their goals - not about wracking up bills or prolonging processes. That said, She knows the law deeply and will fight point for point if that is what you want to do. On behalf of my family, I truly can't thank her enough for her service.

Best lawyer ever. I’ve never felt more cared for by any professional in my entire life, and that is an understatement. When you are in distress it’s difficult to think clearly and calmly and that, in addition to understanding complicated laws, complicates matters even more. However, I was so relieved when I first met with her. Gretchen KNOWS THE MATRIMONIAL LAWS like no other attorney. I have hired and fired an attorney before finding her as I felt that he was motivated by money and not caring for me or my family enough to get us through the barriers and hard times. But unlike him Gretchen was CARING, reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Looking back now, the divorce process was so much easier than what I have anticipated as she gave me a peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. I don’t wish it on anyone to go through a divorce but if you find yourself in such a situation please take this recommendation and look no further. This is the best attorney you’ll ever find.

I hired Gretchen because she was highly recommended by a friend of mine and it was a great decision. Divorces are emotionally and financially devastating. Fortunately, Gretchen provided me with outstanding, cost effective counsel. I found her to be very knowledgeable of matrimonial law, intelligent, and well-organized. Thanks to Gretchen’s diligence and negotiation skills, I was awarded joint legal custody and was able to reach an acceptable settlement without trial. Gretchen far exceeded my expectations.

I am a disabled senior who lives on a fixed income. I had called many lawyers before I finally decided on Gretchen Mullins Kim. She immediately sounded like a human being who was genuinely concerned with my issue and immediately put me at ease about finances and arranging meeting times and scheduling which would accommodate my health needs and physical limitations. I needed a legal name change which would involve the Supreme Court, getting court orders, filing multiple petitions, contacting newspapers with publishing the changes for me. It also involved corrections on a birth certificate and going down to the Depart of Health and doing all the leg work for me. I also appreciated how she was fair about her billing in comparison to the lawyers with whom I had spoken previously. They did not have personality or even attempt or pretend that they were more concerned about my situation rather than their own finances. She kept in constant contact with me thru emails and personal phone calls to assure me that it would not take too long and that she would do her best to expedite the process. You see I also needed to apply for the Real ID drivers license upgrade and all the paperwork had to be completed in a timely manner before my deadline. It is only a few months and all of the elements of my situation have been resolved and completed. She made sure that she purchased all the necessary copies of paperwork for me so that I was well-equipped to accomplish what I needed to do. I was able to pay for her services which were nicely spaced and timed so that I could meet my legal financial commitments. If Gretchen Mullins Kin was not my attorney, I would love her to be my next door neighbor since I am sure that she would look in on me as good neighbors do. Finally, I would like to add that she is a humanitarian and when you walk into her office you immediately get the feeling that her clients and their welfare is her main priority--she put me first. I would recommend this attorney to anyone who is looking for superior legal expertise with an attorney that you can trust.

Gretchen is a very knowledgeable attorney, who provided outstanding legal advice, while taking a practical, solution oriented approach to negotiating the terms of my separation agreement and divorce. The process was smooth and efficient. Gretchen reviewed and analyzed my situation, discussed the range of potential outcomes and crafted a strategy with me. Her guidance on navigating this complex process helped me achieve the best possible result in an expeditious manner, while minimizing stress and strain.

I retained Gretchen Mullins Kim’s services for both my divorce, and to handle my will/living will. She is very professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. She is also empathetic, articulate and an excellent communicator. In addition, her fees are fair and reasonable. I am very satisfied with Gretchen’s work and have highly recommended her to a friend, who was equally as satisfied. I would continue to recommend her to anyone.

Mrs. Kim is a highly experienced divorce attorney who is diligent, professional and very knowledgeable. She is compassionate and truly cares about her clients and looks out for their best interests. We communicated mostly via email and she was very responsive and makes you feel comfortable throughout this difficult process. I have recommended her to anyone I know going through a divorce and they all have great things to say about their experience with her. I highly recommend her.

I retained the services of Gretchen Mullins-Kim in 2006. At that time, I was in the midst of a complicated and difficult divorce proceeding. Before her, I had retained two other attorneys, who both quit the case due to threats and intimidations made by my ex-husband. Gretchen stood by me through the whole thing, ever patient and understanding, and provided support and good counsel at every step of the process until my divorce was finally finalized in 2009. Among the many services she provided for me was helping to obtain sole physical custody of my two sons, and obtaining child support from my ex-husband, who had been refusing to pay. Though no one wants to be in such a situation that they require a Family Law counsel, Gretchen is the kind of attorney anyone would ask for.
