"He is a lawyer with patience and sharp view. During consultation, what he told made me realise the reality that the odds of my case was not promising and I had had some false hope. He suggested the alternative way and that is all I got although it is not easy way for me. One of his job is to make a client understand the gap between the view of law and the..." Read more

"I couldn’t be happier with their service. It was a hand-hold all the way. To use a football reference it was easy to score when Pureum team ran interference for me. VIP service from start to finish."

I, unfortunately, don't speak Korean and navigating the Korean legal system alone, overseas, and with a considerable language barrier was proving to be nearly impossible. Had it not been for Jane and her colleagues, I d..." Read more

"Simon was a trustable person. I actually contacted other lawyers too, and Pureum Law Office was among few lawyers who replied to me quickly. They also gave me a brief description of the process before I make any payment. I would suggest you to contact them anyway without any commitments first (i.e. no pressure), if you are in need of the legal advice."

He then asked for a lot of money to represent me. Simon on the other hand gave me the correct information in a half hour consultation saving me a lot of money. My service wi..." Read more

"I came to Pureum Law Office for assistance with a legal matter in February 2022. The service I received was good, and they worked hard to advise me on the best course of action to resolve my case with the best possible outcome. In the end everything worked out well. I can recommend them to anyone requiring legal assistance and top notch legal advice."
