Bolt Keenley Kim LLP

I highly recommend Bolt Keenley Kim. These insurance companies try to play games, but BKK do not play around... Best lawyers in the bay, BKK will truly fight on your behalf to protect your rights. Proven winners.

Extremely unprofessional. A nice intake person contacted me after hours and gathered the details of my problem. I then got an email from Jim Keenley asking another question. He said he had some ideas on how to handle the case and together we planned a day and time for a conference call with myself and my relative who is also involved. When we logged onto the conference call we were alone.. Jim was not there. We tried calling and emailing but he never got on the call. He later apologized over email for missing the call and suggested we plan another conference call the following week. I gave him a my availability for the next week and then he did not respond. I kept emailing him and called him and he never responded again.. he ghosted me.

Emily Bolt and Jim Keenley are the absolute best - trustworthy, intelligent, and experienced. And of course, 5 stars because they are WINNERS!!!

My sister and I hired Bolt Keenley Kim on behalf of our disabled brother. Not only did BKK secure my brother's rights (getting him on-claim LTD), but they also secured him his STD, which we hadn't originally planned to fight for (as my sister and I thought that ship had sailed). BKK really fought hard for my brother, and that's the kind of lawyer you need to navigate disability cases against big insurance corporations!

We will be continuing our relationship with BKK, as we know these insurance companies are awful even when on-claim. We are so lucky to have found true partners and champions for my brother's rights!

Brian Kim was fantastic. He represented me in a complex disability case. He was able to help me navigate through all the onerous paperwork and phone calls from the insurance company. Brian is very attentive and always remembered all the details of my case when I called him in a panic or just for a check-in. Brian helped my through the whole process from the start to approval to denial a couple years later to finally a settlement. I would highly recommend Brian and his partners to anyone going through a similar situation.

Several years ago I became very ill with a very strange series of symptoms. Didn't mean that I wasn't sick, but it gave the insurance company just enough of an opening that they thought that they could get away with not having to pay on the policy.
I interviewed and hired Brian Kim early in my illness when the insurance company fought paying the short term disability policy. It took a bit but Brian was able to help me resolve the matter. Unfortunately, Prudential decided that it would be good sport to continue to mess with the sick guy and his family and not pay LTD benefits.
As I have gotten to know Brian, I'm so favorably impressed with his work ethic and his follow through. When you call, he either answers or calls back in relatively short order. He is thorough and thoughtful in his preparation and does his best to resolve issues in our favor before litigation is needed. Brian has been on top of communications management, intercepting and either correcting, answering or denying requests and/or assertions by the insurance company. In doing so, he has protected me from myself, especially when I am undergoing medical treatment that can leave me mentally vulnerable.
Bottom line, Brian has had my back the entire time. And, while I'd never wish having to go through this on anyone, having Brian in your corner makes it a bit easier. Brian was brilliant in arranging my LTD coverage and cementing the life insurance policy I was promised as part of my employment agreement.
Part of what makes Brian so effective is the fantastic staff at BKK. All of the folks in the office will do whatever it takes to make certain that your message gets through, your letter gets sent or your documents are filed. Conscientious and supportive, the BKK staff are the perfect complement to Brian's practice in that they make me feel as though I am the only client that they have to worry about. Very unusual for a law practice.
I'm extremely satisfied with the service provided by Brian Kim and the staff of BKK.
