Best Best Best

Rosy is the best lawyer you can get in the Bay Area. She handled my family immigration case so professionally. She is one of the few lawyers who genuinely care for you and hope for your best future. Once she takes your case, she looks after your case as if it's her own on both personal and profession...al grounds. My family absolutely loved her for her hard work and dedication. During sessions, she really takes out all her time, sits with you, listens to you and helps you see a bigger picture. When we won our case, she was more happy than us like you could literally see it in her eyes. With her, we felt welcomed and heard. I definitely recommend her to everyone looking for professionalism and seriousness. With her, every time and money is worth it. I just wish I could give her more than five stars for everything she's done for me and my family.

THE BEST LAWYER IN SAN FRANCISCO

I am a 4th generation US born citizen. I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the immigration and citizenship process. Who does? Why would I? Never knew how serious, scary & complex dealing with Homeland Security could seriously be...Until a few years ago, when I married my husband who was not a US citizen.... What can I say, he's an amazing man, The One, they just don't make them like him in America. I was not going to let him get away. So, I thought that was it. We marry, we'd get on with our lives, we'd be onto bigger better things, Boom he becomes a citizen, the rest would be history...easy peasy right? WRONG! So wrong. The following months and years that followed had to be The Worst & Best times of my life. I greatly looked forward to a new life with my husband, I believed in him, I knew he was going to be somebody & I wanted to be a part of something amazing with him. I PUT 100% TRUST IN HIM, MY LORD GOD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST & OF COURSE ROSY CHO. The things we endured...(not for the weak of heart)...could have broken most and many couples. We never gave up. So many sacrifices, hardships, $$$ issues-, taking whatever jobs he could get & couldn't even practice his profession because he had to wait for work authorization, working minimum wage retail when he graduated from an Ivy League, holding a BS degree and patiently waiting for the day to cone where he'd get his chance, Me having to put school aside to attend my lawyer meetings,immigration meetings, interviews and not being able to focus on my studies, having to write letters to our congresswoman, because IRS was lagging on giving us our $6,000 tax return...all these things- No one knows how we had to live, what we had to give, the uncertainty of our fate and future. All the paperwork, data, evidence, photos, proof of our living together, filling out an SB17 followed by a H175 only to have to wait for the Z72 to take effect then and only then can we fole a request & application for the XYZ4746 it's absolutely nauseating to remember those times but its over now. My husbands conditional status has been removed and he should be able to apply for citizenship soon. We are expecting a baby girl this fall and we are going to Live Happily Ever After. And we owe a lot of our thanks to God & Rosy. She's awesome, She's smart, quick, efficient and will be very straight with you. She's got a BS attitude and put my husband & I both in our places at times and when we just needed to be told it like it is. We'd joke sometimes that she would make a great marriage counselor because all this can and really did take a toll on our marriage but what didn't break us only made us stronger. I beyond highly recommend Rosy to anyone looking for THE BEST I DONT CARE WHAT IT COSTS ME I NEED RESULTS LAWYER! She will blow your mind. This woman is a Gem in SF and we are do fortunate to have crossed paths with such an amazing & professional woman. Thank you Rosy for all that you've done for us, for our family and we look forward to a bright future, thanks for seeing us through. You are a Godsend and we appreciate all you have done over the years to help us. Wish you all the best!!!!
