Career

Kim is a trial lawyer who represents clients in high-stakes personal injury actions and complex commercial litigation. She is nationally recognized as one of the preeminent pharmaceutical and medical device trial attorneys, having served as trial counsel in high-profile cases throughout the country. In 2022, she obtained two back-to-back defense verdicts in the pelvic mesh litigation in federal courts in California and West Virginia.

Although clients value Kim’s legal strategy at every stage of litigation, her phone often rings when a trial date is set. At that time, she prepares with ferocity and does not rest until she knows more about the facts than anyone else in the courtroom.

Chambers USA recognized Kim for nationwide Product Liability & Mass Torts (2021-2023) and Texas: Austin & Surrounds – Litigation: General Commercial (2023). She is a Fellow of the Texas Bar Association and is involved in a variety of organizations including IADC, DRI and the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section.

She obtained her J.D., high honors, from The University of Texas School of Law and her B.A., summa cum laude, in Political Science and Journalism, from Southern Methodist University.  She is admitted to practice in Texas.
