Excellent Immigration Lawyer

Hardworking, smart and knowledgeable lawyer who really cares about his clients. Peter was able to get the desired result, which in my case was to obtain my green card, in a very timely manner. I have to mention also that the legal staff was very friendly, efficient and professional every time I came ...in to meet with Peter. My wife and I are very grateful for all the hard work he did on my immigration case. I highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

We came up to Peter's office by doing some research for immigration lawyers in the area. From the very first meeting we knew that he was highly educated and proficient in the field and we did not hesitate in hiring him. Peter was one of the very few that was super confident about our case and he knew... how to transmit that confidence into me and my husband. He was extremely organized and wanted things done in a certain way, and if you make sure to do as he tells you to, success is high. He explained to us from the very beginning the whole process and why he would ask to do things a certain way. Very detailed, extremely calm and confident, organized and efficient in every imaginable way. He would reply to any of my emails between 20 minutes and sometimes he would even reply in less than 10. He keeps you informed about the process and every step that you took or you're going to take. He reviews the files with you, explains every single one of them and then he tells you not to worry about any of the paperwork. He literally took care of everything. And was even present at the time of our interview. He guided us through out the whole greencard process and we couldn't have been more happy with him. I just want to say thank you in my name and my husband's for making this possible, for giving us confidence in our case and relationship, for keeping us calm and take amazing care of us. And if you're are hesitant about an immigration lawyer, you do not need to look no more, because, as I read in previous reviews before, he's the best immigration lawyer in Sacramento and the whole area!

We couldnt have done it without him

Peter and his team were helpful right from the start of our process to its completion. My wife (a US citizen) and I (UK citizen seeking permanent residence in the US) would like to thank Peter for his knowledge, expertise and professionalism in making our process go smoothly and in good time, we coul...dnt have done it without him and would highly recommend Carson Kyung to anybody. Answering our endless questions was never a problem for Peter and he was there by our side right to its completion. We will definitely be using Peter again in the future if needed. Many thanks!!

Excellence!

From our very first meeting we had the utmost confidence in Peter! Throughout the entire process this never waned. He answered all questions we had, kept us promptly informed on every detail, and his dedication to his clients made a stressful time much easier to cope with! We highly recommend Peter a...nd his team to any about to start the immigration process, you will most certainly be in the best hands.

If you decide to apply for a Green Card, get in the hands of Peter Kyung.

Today we write reviews on the Internet for every little thing, even the most useless. I've never written a review before, I've never really felt the need. I'm doing it now, because I have a good reason. I'm a foreigner, I'm Italian. But fate wanted me to meet my future bride here in the United Sta...tes. How can I stay close to her by living in peace and serenity, 'without breaking the law, but rather, respecting it, thus honoring the country that hosts me? That's how I turned to Peter Kyung. I was at a crossroads. Which road to choose? Which path to choose for my good and that of my partner? My future bride and I turned to Peter in despair and uncertainty. We were frightened and sad, as the idea of being separated grieved us. The duration of the visa that allowed me to stay here in the United States was ending. Peter greeted us in his office. Listened to our story. He put us at ease, with the great empathy that distinguishes his person. Timidly, we mentioned the fact of wanting to apply for the Green Card, the document that would have made me stay permanently in the United States, next to the person I loved. It seemed to us a long and impervious path, full of documents to submit, laws to know and bureaucracy. But Peter reassured us, asking us only to give him our trust. And here I am, now writing the first review of my life, to say “Thank you Peter.” Thank You Peter for your wisdom and security in your own abilities. Thank you for your always complete availability and punctuality in answering all our questions. Thank You Peter for always welcoming us with a smile and giving us the courage and the hope to go on along this path. Thank you for letting me get the Green Card and allowing me to stay here, in Sacramento, next to what has become my wife today. And now I address you, who read this review. If you choose to take this important step, which will determine your future and that of your family, put yourself in the hands of a man who cares about his customers and who spends the last one for them. Put yourself in the hands of Peter Kyung. Giovanni
