Christine Kim is a litigation lawyer with Phillips Law Firm whose practice centers on personal injury claims. She represents injured people in disputes involving insurance companies and at-fault parties, including matters arising from motor vehicle crashes and other serious injuries. Her work combines claim evaluation, settlement advocacy, mediation, arbitration, and trial preparation. She has spent more than a decade handling litigation for injury clients and has resolved hundreds of personal injury claims through negotiated and contested proceedings.

Kim earned a J.D. from the University of Oregon School of Law in 2010 and a B.A. from Yonsei University in 1996. During law school, she served as a senior editor of the Oregon Review of International Law and participated on the Moot Court Board. She later attended the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College in 2012. Her legal education and advocacy training support a practice focused on analyzing evidence, preparing claims, and presenting injury cases in adversarial settings.

Kim began working in personal injury before becoming a lawyer, first serving as a case manager and later as a legal assistant and paralegal. That background gave her practical experience with the progression of injury claims and the demands placed on injured clients. Her current litigation work includes negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and jury trials. She has handled more than 500 personal injury claims and has worked on cases involving significant jury verdicts, including million-dollar and multi-million-dollar outcomes.

Christine Kim brings a litigation-focused background to claims involving serious injuries and contested insurance issues. Her experience spans the full course of a personal injury matter, from early case development through settlement efforts and trial. She approaches cases with an understanding of the factual, medical, and insurance questions that can shape recovery. Her work at Phillips Law Firm supports injured clients who need sustained advocacy when insurers or responsible parties dispute liability, damages, or the value of a claim.
