Worth her weight in gold!

Renae is in my understanding one of the best immigration attorneys anywhere in the US. She is sharp, smart, organized and a step ahead of anything that may come your way. She knows the law, of course, but also the ins and outs of process and on ground realities. She is strategic and will discuss lega...l ways of achieving outcomes. I hired her after a friend received an excellent outcome through her and I recommend Renae to others who may need her services. She is fair, empathetic and has tonnes of patience. She was totally worth it despite being across the country from my location.

Excellent Attorney

We hired Renae to represent us for the EB-1 application for the green card. Renae is reliable, proactive and will get the job done. She is very responsive and keeps you posted with the progress of your case. She is very knowledgeable and her proactive decisions helped us get our GC in time. She is ki...nd and compassionate and a great attorney to know in the city of Chicago!!

Highly recommend!

Renae is an excellent lawyer. She took over my case 3 days before my green card interview. She found time to meet up with me on Saturday to prepare me for the interview and to get to know me and my case. I had a very positive experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, and reassuring. Always respon...ds to phone calls, voicemails and emails in a timely manner. I highly recommended Renae for all immigration needs.

Renae is an awesome lawyer for EB2 NIW

Renae was very thorough and detailed on my EB2 NIW filing - which is a decently complex category to file under since it is very subjective. Renae Y. provided me with the right guidance on what parts to highlight in my list of accomplishments. She reviewed my recommendation letters and gave me a lot o...f feedback. My application was approved within a few months along with my Green Card. She has totally changed my life as far as being able to finally start my own business. She took a lot of time/effort to respond to my questions (which I had a lot of). I had talked to lawyers from top law firms that did not know how to handle my case but Renae did it ! I would highly recommend her for any legal work but specifically immigration related issues.

Renae Yoo almost turned my case around.

Renae was not on my case from the beginning but when my lawyer left the firm, she was assigned on my case. I believe as soon as she was assigned, I received an RFE for my EB1-A case. She set up time to talk to me over phone (something my previous lawyer never did), and told me her game plan for respo...nding to the RFE (which was a very long RFE). For over two months she worked with me very diligently to help prepare the response - polish my recommendation letters, finding additional evidence, and giving me advice or suggesting alternatives when actual evidence was not available. She prepared one heck of a response to the RFE. And with a week of responding to the RFE, my case was approved. I give all the CREDIT to Renae!!!
