Dear Mr. Kim,

Thank you very much for your efforts to obtain justice for our son.  There was no way that we could have compiled enough information on our son to exonerate him.  Without your assistance, he might have been a casualty of the justice system instead of a success.  You are a very compassionate man who is willing to go the extra mile to help your fellow man.  Our son’s story could have had an unhappy ending if not for your tireless dedication.  God bless you.

I have worked in law enforcement for more than 20 years. For 3 years, I was assigned to Court Services Bureau for the largest Sheriff’s Department in the United States. This means I was assigned to various courtrooms as a Bailiff. As a member of a Superior Court staff, I have dealt with many attorneys and law firms. I do not believe you will find a more caring, compassionate, educated, experienced or professional attorney than Mr. Paul Takakjian.
