Practice Areas

Bankruptcy

Our firm represents individuals and commercial clients (debtors and creditors) in bankruptcy proceedings, at both the state (Assignments For the Benefit of Creditors) and federal level. The insolvency matters are initiated by either an insolvent individual, or business, or creditors seeking to have the debtor's remaining assets distributed among the creditors and, thereby, discharging the debtor from further obligation or restructuring and reorganizing the insolvent's debt structure. Our attorneys pursue commercial and personal collection matters, including obtaining Bankruptcy Court relief from the automatic stay to permit secured lenders repossession of collateral and enforcing foreign and out of state judgments against debtors throughout New Jersey and New York City.

Commercial Transactions & Consumer Law

We provide a wide variety of services to our business clients from assisting in selecting the type of organizational entity under which to operate, preparation of agreements, sale and purchase of businesses, obtaining financing and funding for business operations, and employee relations, to dissolution. Our attorneys are well versed in Unfair/Deceptive business practices matters. We pursue and defend a full range of consumer complaints against banks, real estate brokers, and other businesses. We also provide our clients with credit review and repair services.

Commercial Litigation and Appeals

Civil Litigation includes all matters of dispute in the court systems and within the various systems of alternative dispute resolution which are not allegations of criminal conduct. We feel that we can provide you with quality representation in a variety of civil litigation fields. Where a matter calls for technical knowledge that our firm does not currently have, we are happy to associate attorneys and other personnel with the appropriate qualifications.

We have a broad litigation practice that focuses on delivering results for our clients. Our firm represents and advises clients who are or might become involved in a lawsuit or appeal as a result of a dispute, including prevention and settlement, in such areas as employment claims, contract disputes, and commercial matters. Our attorneys also pursue and defend a range of commercial litigation and contract disputes including business and real estate purchase/sale agreements, vendor/customer agreements, noncompete, non solicitation, and nondisclosure agreements for employers and employees. Matters handled by the firm include bankruptcy preference and fraudulent conveyance actions, insurance defense, commercial contract litigation, immigration litigation, and policy setting challenges to state laws and regulations affecting our clients. If it's related to business or commercial law, please contact us and we will discuss with you how we can handle your case.

Immigration

The U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services ("BCIS" - formerly "INS") is one of the most confusing and complicated agencies of the U.S. government. It is critical for foreigners to seek competent attorney representation when dealing with BCIS. BCIS's current rules and regulations are very confusing and many of those rules change with very
little notice to the public.

Many clients are worried about attorney’s costs or BCIS fees. Because of this, many will either decide not to file an application/petition or decide to file their paperwork without the aid of an attorney. Be aware that if you choose to file your paperwork without an attorney there is no one to help you. You may be unfamiliar with your application/petition and may not fill it out correctly or you may not file it properly. This can result in your application/petition being delayed or rejected. Moreover, if you file on your own, you will always worry whether you completed it correctly or if you should have filed a different form.

Be aware that BCIS rules change often and with little or no notice to the public! Hiring the Law Offices of Jae Y. Kim, LLC will increase your chances of a successful application/petition. We will keep you informed about the status of your case by phone or by e-mail throughout the entire process.

We handle all types of immigration cases. Here is some information regarding some of our services:
