Topnotch attorney

I have personally worked on immigration cases and transactional matters with Yi Sun, and have found her to be always professional, respectful and trustworthy. She demonstrates a great work ethic, attention to detail, and dedication to her clients. I have referred immigration and criminal defense ca...ses to her and the feedback has always been positive. She not only obtains the best possible results but also shows great respect and patience to her clients. Yi communicates with her clients in a timely manner to ensure that clients understand their status during the complex immigration proceedings. Yi Sun was selected as Super Lawyers Rising Star for Immigration Law in 2013 and 2014. I fully endorse Yi Sun without any reservation as a reputable immigration, business and criminal defense attorney.

To notch immigration Lawyer

Attorney Yi Sun deserves a 5 Star rating for her handing of my wife's I-130 immigrant petition case. I met my wife overseas while working as an Expatriate in one of the Caribbean countries. Filing for 1-130 petition while residing overseas can be very daunting undertaking, especially with the eve...r changing immigration laws. I did not want to take the chance of making a mistake that we would later regret. I decided it would be well worth it to seek the services of an experienced, competent, knowledgeable attorney .I searched online looking for a competent immigration attorney to handle our case. I came across couple of attorneys in St Louis area and actually made contacts with them. Frankly, they were not helpful as they told me because I was based overseas they could not handle the case. I pretty much lost hope. Luckily, my wife and I came across Attorney Yi Sun's website and read her reviews. I then proceeded to contact her.  I must say the phone call was well worth it as she was very knowledgeable and convincing about handling my I -130 petition case for us. Attorney gave us confidence. She was straightforward, very detailed, and honest. Right after our first consultation, my wife and I knew she was the right attorney to handle our immigration case. We immediately gave her the case and signed the contract. She took on our case with great precision. She kept us abreast every step of the way. She responded to our phone calls and emails in timely manner. She made the whole process very smooth for us. My wife has successfully migrated to the USA and we can't thank Attorney YI enough for her expertise and making the whole process very smooth for us. We strongly recommend Attorney Yi to anyone seeking the services of an experienced, competent, knowledgeable and honest Attorney.

Professional, Experienced, Knowledgeable, Best Immigration attorney

I was very satisfied with Yi's services as my immigration attorney! Yi assists me for my H1-B visa application. She was dedicated and trustworthy to assist and advise me with necessary information that was beneficial for my case. Yi had years of experience filing for different immigrants and she know... fully well the requirements and what to expect when interacting with USCIS. I really appreciate her exceptional service and definitely would recommend her services to others.

Calm, knowledgeable, and patient immigration lawyer with great integrity

I am a client and the husband of a client. I am also a lawyer in private practice with over 30 years of trial experience, so I can review her work with a high degree of knowledge. My girlfriend had immigrated to the U.S. before I met her. Yi Sun was her lawyer. She had developed a high level of regar...d for Yi Sun and had recommended her to several friends. When we got married, I became my wife's sponsor for permanent residency and a Yi Sun client as well. I found Yi Sun to be an excellent attorney. She was calm and patient and clearly very knowledgeable about the process. She let us know what to expect and helped us make the best possible presentation of our application. She was easily available by phone when we had questions. Her fees were very reasonable for the amount of personal attention she gave us. I found her to be a person of high integrity as well. I recommend Yi Sun without reservation because of her intelligence, diligence, and integrity.
