Excellence at its finest!

My husband and i had a great experience working with Attorney Sung Hee and all the Sarmiento Immigration Law team. Not only does he respond to all questions on a timely manner, he also show a human touch and sensitiveness that makes you feel that you are working with a partner not a businessman. We ...hired attorney Sung Hee to obtain my green card with a quite complicated case, but he delivered and provided top notch service. I was able to obtain my green card within a year. I would definitely hire Attorney Sung Hee. The fees are very good and you will not be disappointed.

Top notch attorney

I am forever grateful for the hard work that Attorney Sung (Glen) Hee Yu did in helping me to win asylum in the United States. I am very happy that I chose his law firm to represent me. Glen did a great job in preparing my case and prepared me for my interview. However, I opted not to be accompanied ...to the asylum interview because of the additional expense and unfortunately my case was referred to the immigration court. I opted to have him represent me before the immigration court. I had to move to another state and he quickly filed for my change of venue which was granted. I was represented by phone at my master calendar hearing at which point I was schedule for my individual hearing. Mr. Yu prepared me for my individual hearing and also accompanied me to the immigration court. I was granted asylum with the outstanding help of Attorney Yu. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs immigration legal representation. He is very knowledgeable of immigration laws. He and his professional team genuinely work in the best interest of their clients. A+++++

Very Diligent Attorney

After researching and interviewing at least 10 different law firms I selected JP Sarmiento Law firm. They were very clear, informative and had fairly price. I worked with Attorney Sung Yee and he was very diligent, meticulous, and thorough. He was able to answer all the questions and the enti...re process was a breeze. I will recommend him for any immigration help.

Represented our asylum case !

I have known Sung Hee Yu, aka Glen Yu for almost 2.5 years as a client. Glen showed himself as reliable, compassionate and professional person. The firm he represents and himself met our needs e.g. affordability, flexible time and long commute that compelled us to minimize our choices to choose an at...torney. In times when he was not in a position to answer our intricate questions, he made sure to fetch for us answers from his support staff.

Definitely recommending Mr. Yu!

I worked with Mr. Sung Hee Yu for my wife's green card and me and my wife were so glad to have Mr. Yu as our attorney. We were very satisfied and happy with Mr. Yu's professionalism and quick and accurate work. Mr. Yu also kept us updated all the time and listened and answered to our questions very t...horoughly. Last and most importantly, Mr. Yu was a very kind and polite gentleman and fee was very reasonable as well. I definitely recommend Mr. Sung Hee Yu. Forgot to mention that my wife has successfully acquired her green card!

"I've known Glen for two years and he has always been passionate about immigration law. Even before becoming a lawyer, he has been very active in the field since law school, doing volunteer work for the Legal Aid Society and clerking for Judges and law firms. His knowledge of immigration law derives from his experiences as a foreign-born citizen and keen interest in the area, and this translates to how he relates to clients, treating each case like it's his. He has represented different clients ranging from citizens of Korea, the Philippines, China, Jordan, Mexico, Mali, has accompanied clients for immigration interviews in Cleveland and Newark, and has appeared on behalf of clients for the Cleveland, Detroit, and Houston Immigration Courts. He actively posts useful immigration articles for our blog at www.sarmientoimmigration.typepad.com and is active in the Korean community. Most imporatntly, he cares for clients. I highly recommend Glen Yu to anybody in need of immigration counsel."
