    Public Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong, but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a Public Reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Review Ivan Yacub

Best Law Offices in the DMV

Posted by

This is a small Law Firm recommended to me and my family by various friends. They helped my family with several Immigration cases and my brother with a Criminal case. They are honest and professional. This little paragraph does not describe how amazing they are and how thankful I am for their services.

I would recommend

Posted by

"I retained Ivan Yacub and Yacub Law Office to process my lawful permanent resident. As a tango instructor. I worked with stars like Shakira, Madonna and other great talents of the music industry. Yacub Law Office worked closely with me and those whom I taught to process my green card based on extraordinary talent as a dancer. I am grateful for the hard work the office has done in my case and I would recommend Yacub Law Office."

Retaining Ivan Yacub as my immigration lawyer for almost 15 years

Posted by

I retained Ivan Yacub in the late 1990s to 2010s (almost 15 years) to help me obtain immigration benefits, including permission to work in the United States. His approach to meeting my expectations surprised me. He work diligently in the applications and obtained a work permit. With that work permit, numerous employment horizons were opened. I would recommend Ivan Yacub for any issue related to immigration law.
