Excellent Counsel, Immediate Results

My husband and I hired Peter Kyung to represent us during my husband's application for citizenship. He walked us through the entire process in a straightforward and very organized way that greatly reduced our collective anxieties. He is very knowledgeable and was able to speak with us thoughtfully an...d candidly to answer our questions and make sure our file was complete and had a good chance of being approved. As a result, USCIS informed us 15 minutes into our interview that our case would be approved that day, and it was. His green card arrived a few days later in the mail. Peter's counsel is worth every penny, trust us!

Thank you, Mallory! It was a pleasure working with you and V. I am sure you both are well and I hope to be able to see you two again. Maybe when I visit your city or one nearby? Anyway, it was certainly enjoyable working with you both as you two made it easy. No pushback and always a positive demeanor. Thank you. Hope to see you two again soon!

The best immigration lawyer ever!

Peter is the best immigration lawyer you can find! He is one of the most skilled, knowledgeable, and kind people I have met, and has done an outstanding job helping me immigrate to the United States under rather complicated circumstances. I would recommend Peter to everyone. He really is as good as a... lawyer can be!

Phenomenal Lawyer

I needed urgent advice with regards to a B1 extension, so I depended on Google. Yelp had great reviews on this firm, and many of the clients spoke highly of Peter Kyung. Ok; so I was persuaded. I called, made an appointment and requested him. Peter is awesome! The reviews are right ...on the mark! Peter is hard working, through, friendly, responsive and brilliant. He truly cared and provided the best solution to my case and it was very refreshing to have found an honest lawyer! To top all of this, his fees are very reasonable. Of course, the application was successful and he kept me updated along the way. I appreciate Peter enormously and am so glad that I trusted internet reviews! A great lawyer who I will recommend in a heart beat and use again and again and again. Trust me. 10 stars!!!!

Thank you for the review, Leian. It was a pleasure working with you and am happy to continue working with you towards success. It's also a blessing to have been able to serve a sister in Christ. Please continue to pray for me and I will do the same. Just as before, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and I'm looking forward to our continued favorable outcomes!

A super attorney in every way!

The work of Peter Kyung is first-rate. My wife, who is an immigrant, had a somewhat tricky immigration situation, and we retained the services of this talented attorney. My wife's citizenship was recently approved, and Peter's involvement was a big part of it. We are impressed by Peter's combinati...on of intelligence, professionalism, knowledge, experience, empathy, personal and communication skills, and attention to detail, while always retaining command of the bigger picture. He has the full range of relevant talents, skills, and personality characteristics, all of which helped put us at ease and made us more confident in our case. We are elated to have this rather stressful issue successfully resolved, and feel compelled to give Peter Kyung our highest recommendation here. Anyone with an immigration related case would do well to have him as you lawyer. You will be more than pleased with his performance!

Thank you, Christian. You and V are an great couple and I'm glad to have been able to work on her case with your assistance. You were great throughout the process and I can tell that she's certainly blessed to have your support. V is a great person, as you know, and though what she had faced was unfortunate, I'm glad that I was there during the process to put that bad history in the past. Working with you two was truly an enjoyable experience and I'm glad to be able to call you friend. Be well!

Best immigration lawyer in Sacramento

I have not world to describe how thankful I am that I found Peter Kyung to help me and my wife through the green card application process. Out of all the immigration lawyers I spoke with over the phone, he was the only one who insisted on meeting us in person before taking our case (A great sign).... Also in his pricing was extremely high like others I spoke with and was average for an immigration lawyer (another good indicator). After meeting with Peter, I know immediately that he was the right lawyer for us. He was professional and very extremely nice. He explained every part of the green card application process and was diligent in making sure we had all the right paperwork before even submitting our application. He was there whenever we had a question and was more that happy to help. Peter's knowledge and experience led to a very smooth and easy process. Because of Peter, for us the process went extremely past and I am happy to be a green card holder. I would recommend that anyone who is in need of an immigration lawyer, to look no further and hire Peter Kyung as the lawyer, You will not regret it.
