Dusty Hamilon testimonlial

I just walked out of my swearing in ceremony along with 600 others. I am an American citizen finally! It would not have happened without the hard work, integrity and knowledge of my attormey Peter Kyung, I was afraid to aply for citizenship because I had a DUI only 2 years past. Peter put me at ea...se and I trusted him from the beginning. He did a lot of work helping me fill out the application but he recommended I wait 3 years until I was 5 years clear of the DUI. I got a 10 year extension of my Green Card with Peter's help and kind of forgot about it. 3 years to the day after that I got a call from Peter saying it was time to send in my request. I had really forgotten about it but Peter went to work at no charge, We got my application updated and current with fresh testimonials and referrals. Peter walked me through what to expect at the first interview and I was confident and calm. I aced the exam and went yesterday to Memorial Auditorium to be sworn in. I am thrilled to be a new US citizen and I am sure that without Peter Kyung's help it wouldn't have happened. I would enthusiastically recommend Carson and Kyung for any legal issue especially immigration.I will never use anyone else. Thanks a million Peter & Travis Dusty H Sacremto CA. May 2015

Congratulations, Dusty! I am glad I was able to help. We always try to keep our promises, even if they were made 3 years prior! I was confident in your case because of the hard work you had put into it and thanks to you, we're able to celebrate success. You, your family, and work team all played an integral role in obtaining your naturalization - congratulations! I'm thrilled for you. Please take care and looking forward to seeing you around. I hope you're doing better physically, too. Hoping for a quick recovery!

Carson & Kyung Law Firm

Absolute top notch law firm period! Peter Kyung is a talented lawyer with great social skills. There is thoroughness and then there is Peter Kyung. Always ahead of the curve, friendly while remaining keenly aware of your situation and how to best serve your needs. This firm is a young firm with grea...t talent and potential. Their consultation fees and packages are very fair and Peter will always go above and beyond to get the desired outcome. Communication was flawless. notifications were lighting fast, scheduling was a breeze, very flexible and will work around your schedule. Emails were answered within a matter of hours not days. I would recommend Peter and the Carson and Kyung law firm to any individual with entrepreneurial desires and immigration matters. Carson & Kyung provide services in other areas of expertise but these where the ones I hired Peter for. When you desire nothing but excellence this firm is the place to go. Peter, a big thank you to you !

Thank you, Shayan, for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and D. I know it has been a while since we have seen each other, but you're always in my thoughts. I hope you're teaching others how to fly and take care of their horses. Miss you, friend. Please take care.

An above and beyond immigration attorney

Peter took my very complicated case of seeking political asylum and not only worked it in a way where my asylum was granted without a problem, but also provided me with advice and support that go beyond what was his contractual responsibility. He was a friend, as well as a highly professional and suc...cessful lawyer. Peter is an outstanding attorney, as well as a great person. Suffice it to say that the immigration officer, when handing me my asylum documents, said: "You have a very good attorney". I cannot think of words that would express my gratitude to Peter. Peter charges a very reasonable fee which does not reflect the quality of his work, but reflects his care for his clients as people who are going through rough times and are, most likely, not able to afford an expensive lawyer. Peter is, by all standards, an above and beyond immigration attorney and I am only so lucky to have hired him.

Jelena! Thank you. I know I've already thanked you in person and an email, but I wanted to go through these reviews to thank everyone once more. It was a pleasure working with you and I truly appreciate you for sharing your story with me. Though your past experiences were difficult (to say the least), I am glad you're here and able to be with K. Please give him my regards. Looking forward to our continued relationship!

Second look

I came to Peter after being taken for a fool by an attorney. I was seeking help and information regarding immigration. He kindly took the time to review my INCOMPLETE paper work that the other attorneys fail to successfully complete with accurate information . With the time I spent with Peter he hel...p me understand and provided me with more detailed information , then my previous attorney . I was really upset regarding my situation, but felt comfort and encouragement threw Peter to complete my forms and to not give up so fast, just because of one bad attorney .

Attorney I highly recommend to anyone with immigration issues

As a recent client of Carson & Kyung, A Law Corporation, it is my pleasure to write a review for the outstanding job they have done for me. I had an immigration issue and was working with Peter Kyung who practices immigration law at the firm. On a personal level, Peter was the perfect attorney ...to work with for me, calm and confident, always very supportive and understanding, who is genuinely interested in helping you achieve your immigration goals. On a professional level, Peter impressed me as very knowledgeable and experienced in his field, he was always quick to respond to any questions I had during the process, very detail oriented and diligent when gathering all the paperwork and all with the goal of achieving a positive result for you as quickly as possible unlike at other firms where their goal is to get as much money from you as possible by either giving you false information or extending the process for as long as possible based on what I heard from people who had this unfortunate experience with other attorneys. Overall, thanks to all the great work Peter put into my case, his professionalism, intelligence and diligence, I received the approval for permanent residency just after 3 days after the immigration interview even despite some complications that I had in my case. So, based on my experience with Peter Kyung and stories from people about other attorneys, if you or your friends are considering an immigration lawyer, I wouldn't think twice in choosing Peter Kyung as your representative in any immigration matters you might have as I know from my own experience he will do all his best in helping you achieve your immigration goals in a timely and professional manner.
