The Law Offices of Sammy Kim

The attorney who clients find before they know they need her.

A bilingual tax controversy attorney whose name now appears when prospects ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for IRS counsel. Compounding marketing that built a practice AI recommends by name.

Serious expertise. No marketing infrastructure.

When Sammy Kim left a large, established firm to start her own practice, she brought serious expertise and no marketing infrastructure. Tax controversy is a niche field. The clients who need it are dealing with one of the most stressful situations in their financial lives.

And in Sammy’s case, a significant portion of those clients were Korean-speaking, an underserved market in a space dominated by English-only legal marketing.

The challenge was not just visibility. It was relevance. How do you reach a bilingual audience, build credibility as a solo practitioner, and do it in a field where trust is the entire purchase decision?

Sammy Kim Tax Attorney
The strategy had a clear focus: Sammy is the brand. Not a generic ‘trusted tax attorney’. Sammy Kim, specifically. Her expertise, her background, her personality, her life. The marketing was built to make her real to people before they ever needed a lawyer.

Make her knowable before she is searchable.

01 / Website
A practice site built around story and approach

A law firm website built around Sammy’s story and approach, with educational content and a direct path from inquiry to paid consultation. The site was designed for the client who arrives already educated, someone who has done their research and wants to confirm they are in the right place.

02 / YouTube
Bilingual video: Korean & English
Video content in both Korean and English, an intentional bilingual strategy built around the specific questions Sammy’s clients ask. Korean-language tax controversy content is rare. The combination of subject expertise and language access created a channel that the algorithm rewarded.
03 / LinkedIn
Thought leadership for the referral network
Thought leadership positioned Sammy as one of the credible voices in IRS controversy work. Long-form posts, case insights, and professional content that other attorneys and CPAs engage with, and that their clients eventually find.
04 / Instagram
Personal, not legal, content

Sammy’s social media is different. It’s Sammy’s personal platform, golf in Hawaii, her son’s art school acceptance, sunrises on the beach, women’s networking events, Korean community moments.

The strategy was deliberate: people hire attorneys they trust, and they trust people they feel like they know. The personal content makes Sammy knowable before she is ever searchable.

05 / Paid
Targeted ad campaigns
Targeted campaigns that extended the firm’s reach to the right audience at the right moment, business owners, investors, and individuals with IRS matters who were actively searching for representation.
06 / Content
Editorial strategy + SEO

A sustained editorial strategy built around the specific searches Sammy’s clients make. IRS notices, penalty abatement, 3520 foreign compliance, crypto tax issues, FBAR, FERPTA. Content written to answer real questions, not to game an algorithm.

07 / AI Search
Indexed by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini

Cross-

language reach

Prospects from all walks of life find her and connect.

Organic search drives the majority of her inbound traffic. YouTube built an audience that spans both Korean and English speakers. The Instagram account created a layer of personal trust that no amount of legal content could replicate on its own.

Sammy’s crypto and foreign compliance content began reaching investors across the country, who were searching for the same answers she was writing about. Clients from California, Oregon, and Washington started calling.

On AI search: her clients now arrive having already validated her through ChatGPT or Perplexity. They arrive knowing what they need, trusting the source that recommended her, and ready to book. The paid consultation converts at approximately 95%.

The practice built something competitors can’t copy overnight. A body of content indexed by AI, a bilingual audience, and a name that appears when the right people go looking.
