Associate Attorney

Joseph J. Kim, Esq.​

Joseph Kim was born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in Orlando, Florida. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Florida with a B.A. in Economics.

Joseph obtained his Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law. During his time in law school, he was an active member of the student community as the Deputy Chief of Tours and Admissions for the Stetson Ambassadors and the Executive Chair of the Student Leadership Development Program. He was awarded the Marc L. Levine graduate award for demonstrating “significant growth as a person and professional” and emerging “as a respected campus leader.” Joseph’s passion for vigorous client advocacy is reflected in his achievements with Stetson’s Dispute Resolution Board. He was a member, and then student coach, of Stetson’s Vis Moot International Arbitration Team for two consecutive years. He was tapped for the Outstanding Advocate Award as the graduate in his class “for exhibiting excellence as a member of the Dispute Resolution Board.”

Concurrently with his Juris Doctor, Joseph received his M.B.A. from Stetson University’s School of Business Administration.

Before joining Montanez Law Firm, Joseph worked on hundreds of cases across Florida involving property insurance, personal injury, premises liability, and auto negligence. He represented corporate clients in industries like insurance, trucking, hospitality, and food service, and developed a strong track record for resolving disputes through negotiation and litigation.

He is admitted to practice in all Florida state courts and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida.

When he’s not practicing law, Joseph enjoys exploring national parks, tinkering with tech, and spending time with his family and friends.
