Before hiring Derek Lim and his team, I was overwhelmed after being rear-ended and wasn't sure how to handle the insurance claim or pursue the other party's responsibility. Derek Lim's office took over everything, guiding me through the process and making sure my rights were protected. They handled the negotiations and worked hard to secure the compensation I deserved. The entire process was smooth and stress-free -- I barely had to get involved. The staff and attorney were professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. I am very satisfied with the outcome and grateful for their help. Highly recommend this team!

I had an excellent experience working with Derek Lim and Co. From the initial consultation to the final resolution of two of my cases, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. Penny was especially impressive--thorough in their explanations, quick to respond to questions, and incredibly skilled in navigating the legal process.
What stood out most was their honesty and transparency. I always felt informed and never pressured, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best outcome really made a difference.
I highly recommend Derek Lim to anyone in need of legal representation. They're not only great at what they do, but they also treat their clients with respect and compassion.

Before hiring Derek Lim's Law Offices, I was overwhelmed by the marriage-based green card process. I didn't know where to begin, how to gather the right documents, or what the immigration timeline looked like. I was anxious about making mistakes that could delay or jeopardize our case.
Derek Lim's team was there every step of the way. They helped me compile a thorough and accurate application, guided us through filing procedures, and actively prepared us for the interview. They answered our questions promptly and offered clear, patient explanations.
Working with their staff and attorney was a genuinely positive experience. Everyone was professional, courteous, and compassionate. The communication was seamless. Emails and phone calls were answered quickly, and they proactively let us know what to expect next, ensuring we always felt supported.
The result speaks for itself. My case was approved without any issues. I'm incredibly relieved and grateful. The peace of mind I gained from having such a capable and caring team was invaluable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Derek Lim's Law Offices to anyone navigating the immigration process.

I visited this office after seeing it recommended by ChatGPT in a search result, but my experience was very disappointing. This is a warning: do not follow any AI suggestion without doing your own careful research.
The consultation was $300 for 30 minutes, which might be fair if it delivered real value. Instead, the attorney repeatedly mentioned the time limit and seemed unprepared, even though I had given information to his office days earlier. We came as four people for related cases, but there were only two seats at first, and arranging seating wasted more time.
He only focused on one matter I had already partly handled and ignored the related cases I came to discuss. I left with the impression that this office mainly processes forms rather than providing detailed, strategic legal advice.
If you need thorough and personalized guidance, I recommend looking elsewhere and not relying solely on AI search recommendations.

The law offices of Derek Lim were very approachable and easy to work with. They helped with my claim on Tesla insurance and worked around my schedule to collect information and file the claim appropriately. They did everything in their capacity to negotiate a fair settlement for my accident. They even recommended the doctors and chiropractor for my pain from the accident. I am very happy with the results obtained and will recommend them to anyone who needs help with filing insurance claims
