Amazing attorney

I hired Susan to be my immigration attorney and she was amazing every step of the way. She communicated with me throughout the entire process. Susan was very good and explaining to me the process and was quick to answer any questions I had. Susan is very easy going so it definitely makes the process ...less nerve wracking. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking to hire an immigration attorney.

Simple, effective and excellent service

Immigration is a stressful process, Susan and her team made the entire process simple and stress free. Susan explained the process, step by step, and was clear and concise. The advice and support offered was first class. Having been through the process when my wife emigrated to the UK, I can honest...ly say the process was not as pleasurable. I wholeheartedly recommend Susan and her team to all.

Highly Recommended Immigration Attorney

We hired Susan after having a very good initial consultation where she set realistic expectations about our immigration case. For our first appointment, she was extremely well prepared having read and researched case law that applied to our situation. The whole process was very easy, her staff was al...ways helpful and Susan communicated clearly and on-time. I had a prep session for my immigration appointment, it was quick and to the point. I never felt overwhelmed and most importantly I always felt that Susan had my back. For the actual appointment at USCIS, Susan was with me the whole time and at some point while the officer was doing some heavy questioning, Susan very professionally intervened and advocated on my behalf with an informed position based on the law/statutes. A few days after our appointment, I was notified that I have been approved on the matter I was looking for. Total Success! Susan was well-prepared, professional/ethical, tenacious and aggressive (in the best possible sense of the word, the way you want your lawyer to be). I am confident that Susan will be able to help you on your immigration case, she has been practicing immigration law for a while and she has seen it pretty much all. I trusted her advice and got the exact outcome I was looking for.

Excellent, thorough lawyer. Helped with NIW which got approved within two weeks!

Susan is an excellent attorney that I recommend without any reservation to anyone seeking representation regarding immigration matters. She has a wealth of experience that she will bring to bear in your case, no matter the type of immigration issue you have. Susan represented me in my NIW request for... evidence. I chose Susan to represent me based on the very many positive reviews I read on avvo.com. I am glad that the reviews are real and that my RFE was approved. I had the opportunity of using attorneys from one of largest law firm in the United States. However, upon talking with that lawyer, I quickly realized that big law firms do not give you the one-one-one, personal touch that Susan gave me. She listened to my case and personally handled it. This is very important as some lawyers will only make their legal assistants to handle your case (some legal assistants are actually very competent and good). Even after approval of my NIW, Susan continued to go over and above and gave me several additional legal advice at no cost. Many lawyers do not do this and only stop communicating with you once the initial legal agreement and contract is over. Susan responds to your calls and emails very promptly. She is very organized and will not misplace or ask you to resend any document you've already sent her. So, if you are looking for a lawyer who knows what they are doing, Susan is your guy. Her fees are very reasonable too compared to what others are charging. She allows you to pay in two installments which was really very helpful. Now, I am expecting my interview letter for the adjustment of status to permanent resident. Without Susan's dedication and effort, my life would have been messed up. This is because I was already out-of-status on my F-1 OPT. My whole life depended on the approval and success of the NIW RFE. Within two weeks of sending the response, USCIS approved my NIW. I was very pleasantly surprised that they would approve so quickly. Susan wrote a very compelling argument and proved my case beyond any reasonable doubt based on the three-pronged test of the precedent Dhanasar case. We supported my application with five reference letters and other supporting documentations. I was very happy with the whole experience. I couldn't have chosen a better representation. I know of my colleagues with the same credentials as me (Masters, PhD) who got their NIW RFE denied because of the sloppy lawyer they got. I am telling you, lawyers do matter and sometimes make the difference. In summary, I highly recommend Susan if you are seeking a responsible, dedicated, thorough, reliable, confident, and professional attorney.

Susan Han is an amazing lawyer!

With Susan's help my mother and I became legal residents and then citizens. She had a high level of expertise and there was no language barrier throughout the process.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
