Glen was excellent in representing my case. We appreciate him and his firm's willingness to support my husband and I thru every turn with quality and a rapid pace.

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+++++

Professional and I highly recommend

This Review is for Attorney Glen Sunghee Yu. I was amazed on how this firm was very professional and attentive. The first time I met with Glen Sunghee Yu he made me feel very comfortable I felt like he really was very concerned about my case he explained the whole process on how becoming a permanent... resident. Glen Sunghee Yu was very helpful to me throughout our whole process he would always answer my calls return my emails and answer my questions in short time. I and my wife now are a permanent resident thank you so much for all the support you guys gave us and for your hard work :).

immigration case (cancellation of removal gor LPR)

I first began acquainted with Mr. Sung Hee Yu, in April of 2013. He was definitely an answer to my prayers, as I live in NM and he is all the way in Ohio, but after reading some of his reviews I was sure that he was the lawyer that I was looking for. Mr. Sung Hee, made sure to explain my case and the... possible outcomes of my case. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had; he also took the time to prepare me for my hearing. I appreciated his honesty with me regarding my case, although my case was a tough one he reassured me that he would do his best, and he did. I first of all thank God, and then I thank Mr. Sung Hee for doing his part in my case and for taking a case that was difficult and far from his location as it was located in El paso TX. I am very pleased and thanful for the outcome at my final hearing, as I was granted cancellation of removal for a legal permanent resident; I was not only granted the removal but after Mr. Sung Hee requested that I get my green card back the Judge granted that as well and I retrieved my green card again. I am very pleased with the service that Mr. Sung Hee and everyone at Sarmiento immigration Law Firm provided. I am grateful to know that there is still people with compassion and a desire help others. If you are looking for someone who really cares I urge you to contact Mr. Sung Hee.

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.

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
