Keoki Kim

Senior Counsel
keoki@bcarlsonlaw.com

Keoki Kim, originally from South Kohala, Hawaii came to Alaska in 1994 after he graduated from Vermont Law School with his Juris Doctor and a Masters in Environmental Law. He passed the bar in February of 1995. In October of 1995, he started a general practice, JOHNSON & KIM, PC with his friend and mentor, Brent A. Johnson, who passed away in 2003.

Keoki ran a general practice that was focused on helping people resolve problems in the areas of Adoption, Bankruptcy,  Child Support, Corporations, Criminal, Custody, Divorce, Landlord/Tenant, Trusts and Wills. The firm focused on providing excellent communication with clients, excellent work product and an emphasis on minimizing costs. The firm was one of the first in Alaska to go paperless. And then 100% remote.

In 2018, Keoki closed the practice to move back to Hawaii and spend time with his youngest children before they graduated from High School. Keoki helped raise 4 stepchildren and 2 children adopted from overseas. Keoki’s 4 sons are serving in the Air Force and the Army. Keoki’s 2 daughters work in the private sector. They are his greatest joy.

After Keoki’s children graduated from High School, he returned to Alaska in 2021 and focused on community service by serving as the Human Rights Attorney for the Alaska State Commission on Human Rights. Keoki then went on to serve as Executive Director of the Anchorage Equal Rights Commission.

After doing 5 years of community service, Keoki has returned to private practice to focus on mentoring younger attorneys at Carlson Law Group and providing high quality legal service based upon 31 years of experience. Keoki joined Carlson Law Group specifically because of its priority on helping people in our community with their legal problems in a cost-effective, genuinely caring manner. This is not just a business. It is a group of people who want to help others in the especially stressful and confusing area known as The Law.

In his free time, Keoki works on old trucks and motorcycles, does construction, and builds incredibly complex aquarium systems so that he has a little bit of Hawaii with him at home.

Meet the Team

I had a case that was a real stickler. I had my consultation, time went on going through the ropes, dread and worry kept building more and more. Fast forward to the pre-trial, I couldnt help but holding a stupid grin on my face the whole time as I got to witness the team Bradly built around the case; and all my worries went away. My case needed to involve professionals and let me say he hired the best of the best and i was completely blown away. I truly am not one to write reviews but this law group is more than worthy.
If you need the best of the best, may this review be your sign you found the right place.

Jennifer Younger

Carlson Law Group was the right law firm to hire for my case! From the start they were firm, consistent, knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy! Due to changes I ended up working with George and I feel truly honored to have had him sitting next to me during the trial and as the person in my corner!! George is personable, genuine, professional, determined, passionate, and ethical. This case was a child custody case with some conflict and with every curveball George was top notch! From his demeanor, knowledge and experience— George not only brought me peace of mind but proved with focus and true value, you can rise! Once again if you are in need of a law firm that cares and puts their best effort forward, choose Carlson.

We had a great experience with Carlson Law Group. Brad, Heather and Daniel worked tirelessly on our case. The team always answered questions and provided updates in a timely manner. We were never left wondering what was next or what route Brad would take with the case. He was proactive about informing us of every possible option and outcome related to our dispute. Brad and his team represented us with empathy and care. We truly felt that Brad wanted what was in our family's best interest. We're beyond grateful for having Brad and Daniel in the courtroom. Their arguments were sensible and straightforward. They backed up every word with evidence and integrity. We left the courthouse happy with the verdict thanks to Carlson Law Group. We highly recommend working with Brad and his colleagues.

Daniel Florence

The Carlson Law Group provides exceptional representation. They care about you and your family’s needs. Very personable and down to earth. I would highly recommend them for any and all legal matters.

Jennifer McCann

The Carlson Law Group came highly recommended from the Alaska Attorney Referral Service to deal with a stalking issue. I was immediately impressed with the fact that they returned my phone call right away and we were able to quickly get down to business. We were assigned Patrick Phillips as counsel and he devoted his full attention to our concerns. His attention to detail in our preparation was impeccable. During the telephonic hearing he was obviously well prepared and skillful in his presentation, cross examination, and ability to object to opposing counsel when necessary. I give Patrick Phillips and the Carlson Law Group my highest recommendation. Without a doubt they are the BEST legal counsel I have ever had the pleasure of retaining.

Robert Donaldson

Brad and Marshall are excellent attorneys. In my opinion, Carlson Law Group is the best lawyers that I have had. The State brought charges against me for conduct that did not happen the way the State claimed it to have happened. Brad and Marshall listened to my situation, carefully reviewed all of the evidence in my case, drafted motions to have the charges reduced, and worked with the prosecutors to help me achieve an agreement that would allow me to keep my job and support my family. Overall, I am very, very pleased with Carlson Law Group. I highly recommend this law firm!
