Our Dedication to Veterans
Founder Daniel Kim’s JAG Corps experience instilled the integrity and discipline that guide our advocacy today. We apply those values to every case – serving veterans, active-duty service members, and injury victims throughout California.
Daniel’s Story: From JAG Officer to Advocate for the Injured
Before becoming Orange County’s trusted personal injury attorney, Founder Daniel Kim served his country with distinction in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps. Beginning in 2010, Daniel’s military legal career took him across the globe, from Seoul to Iraq, where he served in the largest military jurisdiction in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
As a paralegal in the JAG Corps, Daniel didn’t just process cases. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with service members navigating complex legal challenges far from home. His dedication and excellence earned him recognition as the top enlisted JAG member in the Asia Pacific, along with the Army Commendation Medal, honors that reflect his commitment to serving others under the most demanding circumstances.

What Military Service Taught Us About Advocacy
Daniel’s military background isn’t just part of his resume – it’s woven into DK Law’s DNA.
The lessons Daniel learned in uniform continue to shape DK Law today:
- We Lead With Heart: At DK Law, our clients’ recovery and justice take priority over everything else. Every case receives the same dedicated focus that Daniel brought to his service.
- Discipline and Preparation: Military legal work demands precision, thorough preparation, and attention to detail. These principles translate directly into how we build cases, negotiate settlements, and fight for our clients in court.
- Multilingual & Community-Based: Daniel’s international deployments exposed him to diverse cultures, languages, and perspectives. That experience deepened his appreciation for California’s multicultural communities and reinforced his commitment to serving clients.
Our diverse staff ensures seamless communication. We’re ready to discuss your case in English, Spanish, o Korean.
En el fondo, un abogado es un defensor. Y en el núcleo de la defensa está el esfuerzo por resolver problemas.
– Daniel Kim, Esq.
How We Help Veterans Overcome Common Obstacles
At DK Law, we recognize potential obstacles veterans face and know how to address them.
- Trust and Understanding: You shouldn’t have to explain military life to your attorney. We already understand military culture and values, and we honor your service.
- Navigating Multiple Systems: Managing VA benefits, military healthcare, and a personal injury claim simultaneously is complex. We coordinate with these systems to protect your benefits and understand how military medical records differ from civilian documentation.
- Concerns About Disability Ratings: Personal injury settlements typically don’t affect VA disability ratings – these are separate systems. We protect your existing benefits while pursuing compensation for new injuries caused by negligence.
- Insurer Assumptions: Some adjusters assume veterans have full coverage and offer lower settlements. We ensure insurers understand the full scope of your damages and fight for fair compensation.
- Documentation Challenges: If your accident aggravated a service-related injury or you receive VA treatment, military medical records may be needed. We understand how to navigate the military records system and present documentation effectively.
Why Veterans Choose DK Law
- Service-Driven Advocacy: Daniel Kim’s experience as a U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps member instilled values that define everything we do: integrity, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to protecting those who need it most.
- Resultados Comprobados: Over $600 million recovered for injured clients through aggressive, strategic advocacy. Daniel Kim’s dedication to clients has earned widespread recognition, including membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and more than 40 industry honors.
- Hands-On Dedication: Daniel Kim has remained hands-on in every case, providing personalized legal guidance so you receive the attention and expertise you deserve.
- No-Fee Promise: Nuestra guia de personal injury clients pay nothing unless we win their case. Your service to our country shouldn’t be followed by financial barriers to justice.
