About Susan

CALL NOW! HABLAMOS ESPAÑOL. Free in-office consultation! Open some Saturdays. Call for appointment.

I, Susan S. Han, am a Certified Specialist in Immigration & Nationality Law. I formed Han Law Group focusing exclusively on Immigration Law after spending nearly 9 years as a co-founding partner of another law firm,  in Los Angeles, California. I have extensive experience in Immigration Law  and for the past 20 years, have helped thousands of people obtain or keep their legal status in the U.S. I have vast experience in handling all aspects of immigration law including Family-based and Employment-based petitions, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Business and investment visas, asylum, NACARA, U visas, citizenship and naturalization, deportation/removal defense,and appeals at all levels.
 
I was selected as a “Super Lawyer” by my colleagues and peers, and have been named as one of the “Top Lawyers in Southern California” as featured in Los Angeles Magazine from 2010 - 2019. I have contributed to the American Immigration Lawyer's Association ( AILA)  Immigration Law Toolbox, a guide for practitioners, as well as been invited to speak at AILA's national conference in 2016, 2017 and 2018, and have spoken on various immigration topics at many seminars.
 
In addition to my practice, I have also taught Immigration Law for the Paralegal Program as an adjunct professor at California State University, Los Angeles, and have been on panels for various legal organizations such as AILA, LACBA, Pincus Educational, giving seminars on immigration issues.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I graduated with a Juris Doctor degree from Southwestern University School of Law where I earned the American Jurisprudence Award in Constitutional Law. I was also selected to be a member of the Moot Court Honors Program. 

I am admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of California, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. I am an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Korean-American Bar Association, and the Los Angeles County Bar Association.

 

My office speaks English, Spanish, and Korean.

Review Susan Han

Resident immigration process

Posted by

My husband and I are VERY please with Susan Han and her staff. They started out the process with a consultation and based on their experience they gave info on what to expect and and the steps that it will take. They submitted our paper work to immigration in Oct 2015 and we just got approve for my husbands resident in Jan 2016 and believe my husbands case was very difficult since he had about 18 police charges filed under his name. Everyone in our family would say he would never had a chance to become a resident but thanks to the services of Susan and her staff he got approve without hesitation! In the interview Susan was with us and made sure we were taken care by her services without any extra fees to pay. Couldn't have gone to a better place than with Susan n her staff! My money was well invested and we are grateful for her service!! We will continue to go to her office for the next few steps so my husband can become a U.S. Citizenship!! By the way Susan n her staff rock and relate to u on a personal level :) u guys R the BEST!!!!

Above and beyond. Miracle worker

Before coming to Susan my situation was bleak. My company had attempted a L1 petition without seeking counsel and needless to say it came back as rejected. I insisted we use a lawyer and that's when I came across Susan. Right from the first meeting she showed an incredible amount of knowledge in the field of immigration and laid out exactly what the next steps had to be. She always kept me apprised of updates and anything else she thought would help my cause. The petition she sent to the immigration service was outstanding. My case was not only reopened (against all odds!) but granted, without any need for further evidence. Remarkable work. Would highly recommend.
