Angela Yu is admitted to practice law in New Jersey and New York and focuses mainly on personal injury matters.
Before practicing law, Angela was a teacher for ten years working with young children. She cared very much about her students—she still remembers their names and thinks about them to this day. Likewise, as a lawyer, Angela cares about her clients and is dedicated to helping those who have been seriously injured through no fault of their own.
In law school as a student attorney in the Civil Justice Clinic, Angela successfully advocated for her clients in Social Security disability matters to get the benefits they deserve. She has also written for the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives Forum.
Angela enjoys good food, relaxing at the sauna, and spending time with her two young daughters.
Daniel M. Baczynski is Of Counsel to the Kim Law Firm. Daniel Baczynski is originally from Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois for his undergraduate before obtaining his Juris Doctorate from Loyola University in Chicago. With his wife Hannah he has traveled across the country, doing cases in a wide variety of states including Washington, Illinois, Utah, the Dakotas, and New Jersey. He enjoys seeking justice for the disadvantaged, which has led to a career in both consumer protection and civil rights. While the cases are often difficult, Daniel relishes the opportunity to champion those who have been exploited and fleeced. More than just cases, Daniel appreciates the person behind the harm. Representing the abused has led to many amazing relationships, all of which I continue to cherish even after the case has been resolved. In his free time, Daniel attempts (fruitlessly) to contain the two tornados he calls his children – Lulu and Rupert. He also enjoys snowboarding, bad horror movies, and playing board games with friends.
