About MK Law Barristers and Solicitors
Michael Kim is the principal of MK Law Barristers and Solicitors. He has been managing the firm since 2015. He comes from a unique background as a former immigration officer at Immigration New Zealand (INZ). As an immigration officer, he assessed various types of resident visa applications, interviewed applicants, and conducted site visits to workplaces.
While working at INZ, he dealt with many clients presented by an immigration lawyer or advisor. He saw some representatives better than others. Understanding the daunting nature of the immigration policies were only the starting point. Some were competent in all dealings with the particular immigration matters, and some were professionally unprepared. He was lucky to learn what set good representatives apart from the bad ones: the ability to portrait the full picture of the client’s circumstances honestly.
In 2008, Michael started LLB from the University of Auckland with the sole aim of helping migrants and their families. He focused on administrative law, including immigration, employment, and judicial review. He graduated and was admitted to the bar in 2011.
Since admitted, he has successfully helped many migrants and their families facing a legal conundrum. He conducted deportation proceedings at IPT and judicial proceedings in High Court. Since 2017, Michael has been a member of the Immigration and Refugee Committee at the Auckland District Law Society Inc. He is regularly invited to speak and chair professional seminars since 2019.
Apart from the immigration matters, he also helped many clients at the Employment Relations Authority and the Employment Court. As a counsel in criminal matters, Michael has successfully represented many criminal clients, including a repeat domestic violence offender, discharged without conviction.
As well as English, Michael speaks fluent Korean and Japanese. He can competently advise clients in Japanese.
Michael originally comes from South Korea, married with three children. In his leisure, he enjoys reading the bible and watching movies. He is a second-dan black belt Taekwondo practitioner.
Michael is a proud member of the following professional institutions in New Zealand:

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If Google allows me to give more than 5 stars I would. They have helped me with almost all my visas for the past 3 years. Right from applying the essential skilled visa to getting my permanent residency. They are very prompt and always ready to answer any queries you have. Michael and Sharing are both talented and extremely helpful which makes them a great team at MK Law. I would highly recommend them

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
Michael is God sent to my family. He was God’s instrument to show that in Him nothing is impossible.
My family’s immigration case was so complicated. I thought that we will be separated once again. My family and I hired a lawyer before Michael and it was a struggle. Then I did my research and found MK Law just when I thought I lost all hope. Michael made me understand the very complex case of my family. He gave us HOPE but did not give us false promises. Michael was always one call away which was very reassuring.He made us feel that he was always with us in this battle/ journey.
MK Law has done an excellent job with my family’s very complex immigration case. He made the impossible, possible with his great experience, expertise, wit and knowledge in dealing with immigration cases. MK Law is the go to immigration lawyer when everyone else failed. Very Highly Recommended.
Sharing, you are an expert Legal Administrator. You made things easy for us. You answer questions promptly and you made us feel comfortable.
My family and I will always be grateful to MK Law team. My family is now intact and no more separation. God Bless and Protect you always.
Thank you also to Sarah who was with us at the beginning.
