"Attorney Sammy Kim" professionalism, patience and down- to-earth approach all the difference. She guides me through a situation that had a felt overwhelming. Thank Sammy Kim for resolving an issue that had a become a nightmare for me.

Attorney Kim very professionally handled a tax issue with the IRS. Her experience and calm manner helped to allay my anxiety that the issue would never be resolved; yet it was and within about 30 to 60 days of her firm’s Involvement. Whereas I had been trying to resolve it for 8 months. She has my gratitude .

Anyone who has dealt with the IRS knows how overwhelming and stressful the process can be. Our case was not only stressful but extremely unique, complex, and deeply unjust. We were assessed penalties and fines for issues that were not even caused by us, and for over five years, this situation placed an enormous emotional burden on our family creating constant anxiety and even conflict between my spouse and me. Finding a law firm willing and capable of taking on such a complicated case was incredibly difficult. That’s when we learned about Attorney Sammy Kim. Even though we live in a different state, we decided to entrust her with our case and that decision changed everything. This was a long and challenging battle. Throughout the entire process, Attorney Kim never gave up on us. She demonstrated unwavering dedication, persistence, and genuine care, advocating for us tirelessly with the IRS. This was not just legal representation; it was personal, thoughtful, and deeply committed support during one of the most difficult periods of our lives. This week, we finally received an official letter from the IRS confirming a positive resolution. When Attorney Kim personally called us even over the weekend to share the good news, it was a moment of immense relief and gratitude for our entire family. After years of stress, we were finally able to close this chapter with peace of mind. Attorney Sammy Kim is more than an attorney. She is a true advocate who stands by her clients until the very end. For anyone facing an IRS issue that feels hopeless or overwhelming, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Our family will always be grateful for her professionalism, determination, and heart.

From the onset, Sammy's team was highly communicative confirming the appointment times via email and text reminders. I really appreciated the high touch comms and prep work that Sammy did before our call to review our intake form. Sammy walked us through the best practices for managing our growing small business. I really appreciated her insights and strategic guidance. I'm looking forward to bringing Sammy onboard to help us as we continue to grow our small business to ensure we're in compliance at the city, county, state, and federal levels. Sammy has a wonderful way about her and her delivery is top notch. I didn't need a law textbook to understand the best practices. Everything was shared in layman's terms and was easy to understand.

Sammy Kim and her team are excellent at solving complex tax issues. They work efficiently and with caring and support for the client. Years of tax issues were resolved in a matter of weeks. I will forever be grateful. Would recommend 100%.

I know what you're thinking. This place has 5 stars and no negative reviews. That's exactly what I thought when I first started looking for a competent lawyer a couple years ago. Sammy wasn't the first lawyer I spoke to. Before her, I had contacted multiple lawyers but felt like they saw an easy case and an easy way to make money. I eventually took a chance with Sammy Kim and her team, and it has been a perfect journey ever since. What sets Sammy apart is her genuine care for clients and her honest, straightforward approach. While other lawyers tried to intimidate me with worst-case scenarios and demanded large upfront fees, Sammy took the time to understand my situation and provide reliable, truthful guidance. Her empathy and dedication to solving problems rather than just collecting fees made all the difference. It's not an exaggeration to say she saved my life during what felt like an overwhelming situation. The breadth of her expertise is remarkable. She helped me navigate complex international FBARs (which were late), handled paperwork for selling my apartment abroad, managed my inheritance and the 3520a inheritance form (also late), tackled NYC UBT self-employment taxes when I was completely overwhelmed, and even assisted with cryptocurrency and stock accounting. At this point, I don't think there's anything she can't do. I also want to give a special shout-out to Karen and Chloe on her team, and anyone else who was working behind the scenes. They're equally professional and empathetic, always treating my situation with care and understanding. It's clear that Sammy has built a team that shares her values. Beyond her professional skills, Sammy treats you like a person, not a case number. She sends Christmas cards and remembers the little details about your life. These thoughtful touches remind you that you're working with someone who genuinely cares. As someone navigating the U.S. tax system from an international background, finding Sammy felt like finding a lifeline - but her care and expertise would benefit anyone, regardless of their situation. I normally don't write reviews, but exceptional service like this deserves to be recognized so others can find the help they need. If you're looking for a lawyer who will treat you like a person rather than a paycheck, I cannot recommend Sammy highly enough.

I reached out to Attorney Sammy Kim, and from the very beginning, she and her team were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely supportive. Ms.Kim and her team handled the entire IRS Offer in Compromise process from start to finish, including all required documentation and communications with the IRS. This took a tremendous amount of stress off my family and allowed us to focus on our day-to-day responsibilities instead of worrying about tax notices. The results were incredible! The IRS accepted an Offer in Compromise for approximately 7% of the total tax liability, and after completion of the offer payments, the remaining balance was fully resolved. Sammy and her team treated us with respect and care throughout the process and delivered exactly what they promised. If you are looking for a tax attorney who is professional, compassionate, and gets real results, I highly recommend Attorney Sammy Kim.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel I need to share my experience and my gratitude for Attorney Sammy Kim. I first met her years ago when she was at another firm. After she left, I stayed with the old firm, but my tax situation only got worse. I didn’t understand the U.S. tax system, I was given bad advice in the past, and my IRS balance became bigger and bigger until it completely overwhelmed me. For years, I lived with fear of losing my business, my home, and everything I worked so hard for. At the same time, I was trying to bring my wife and children legally and safely to the US, and dealing with immigration and tax problems at the same time felt impossible. When I finally moved my case to Sammy’s firm, everything started to change. She helped me get fully compliant step by step and made sure I was prepared for when a Revenue Officer would be assigned. She worked with a kind of care and dedication I had never experienced before. Many times, I felt like giving up, but she told me something that I will remember forever. “If your problem can be solved with money, consider us lucky. As long as you are with your wife and children, be thankful for the time we have in this world.” Those words kept me going during the hardest moments. After so many years of stress and fear, Sammy was able to negotiate an IRS payment plan that I can actually manage. When I received the approval letter, I felt a relief I can’t even describe. Around the same time, I was finally able to bring my wife and children here so we can live together. For the first time in years, I can breathe again, rebuild, and enjoy my life with my family. Attorney Sammy Kim is knowledgeable, honest, compassionate, and truly fights for her clients. I am deeply grateful for everything she has done for me. I recommend her with all my heart.

I have known Sammy Kim for several years and she is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable attorney who puts her clients needs first. If you have any tax needs, I highly recommend this law firm without hesitation.

I own a small restaurant in Prince William County and was completely unaware of the new local county-level sales tax obligations after relocating from New York. My longtime CPA and I had been remitting 100% of collected sales taxes to the Virginia tax department, not realizing that some of it was supposed to go to the County. As a result, my business was audited and faced a significant tax bill, penalties, and interest from the County. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know how to fix the issue. I’m so glad I reached out to Attorney Sammy Kim. Her expertise in both local and state-level tax compliance gave me confidence from the very beginning. Sammy took charge of my case with a clear, detailed strategy. She resolved the County audit issue first by negotiating the penalty abatement and reducing the amount owed. Then she went above and beyond—she reviewed our entire sales tax history, discovered we had overpaid state taxes due to reporting errors by the CPA, and filed over two years’ worth of amended monthly sales tax returns with the Virginia Department of Taxation. Thanks to her work, we received almost $39,000 in refunds from the Virginia Tax within just a few months! I expected the case to drag into next year, but the process was surprisingly fast and smooth. This refund lifted a huge financial burden from my small business. I’m still shocked by how efficiently everything was handled. Sammy treated my case like it mattered, and her attention to detail and persistence made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful and relieved. Thanks, Sammy!

I was experiencing so much stress handling my dad‘s taxes. I literally turned everything over to Sammy Lin and it was the best decision of my life! She took everything off my plate and did a fabulous job with tax resolution. I would highly recommend this practice.

Great experience working with Sammy. Would highly recommend. She did a wonderful job with my case. Great again, 2 years later - Sammy Kim and her staff were excellent advocates during my extremly lengthy refund process with the IRS. They kept me informed, stayed persistent, and I always felt confident in their efforts. I highly recommend Sammy.

I highly recommend this truly warm-hearted and kind attorney. After living solely as a housewife, I started working, and shortly after, my wages were garnished. Adding to the ongoing adversity, I found Attorney Semi Kim. He empathized with my circumstances, my situation, and the challenges I faced. He offered me detailed explanations, offering comfort and strength, even as I struggled with anxiety and distress. I'm so grateful for his compassionate nature. I'm writing this review for the first time in my life to share his sincere gratitude. His calm, easy-to-understand explanations, his precise approach, and his dedication to helping me through every situation gave me the courage to hold on to hope rather than worry. It was as if he was solving a family problem with me. I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the kindness and understanding he and all his staff members displayed. I was even unaware of the significant amount of taxes, interest, and penalties I owed due to a misunderstanding. .. I was really feeling hopeless, but finally, I received a call from my lawyer saying that my tax debt would be forgiven, with only an unimaginably small amount of interest and penalties. Seeing my lawyer's heart rejoicing with me, saying it was such good news, I felt grateful once again for having met such a wonderful person. Now that my painful tax issue has been resolved, seeing other problems that had been difficult and blocked for so long being resolved and sorted out one by one, it feels like a real path forward has finally opened up, and it feels like a dream. Are there any of you struggling with tax issues? I highly recommend consulting with Attorney Semi Kim. She is not only beautiful, but also has such a warm heart and is so capable that I wonder where else I could find an attorney who can deliver results beyond my imagination. Attorney Semi Kim, I am truly grateful and thankful. And thank you for all your hard work. I hope you always stay healthy and that through you, many people can find hope from pain... joy from tears... and a new life opening up in the dark tunnel.
