Your search for an immigration lawyer is over

Here’s the short version Peter is available, kind, caring, patient, dedicated, thorough, and an overall standup guy. He cares about his clients and it shows. If you’re searching for a lawyer for anything immigration related, you don’t need to search any more, you found your guy. Now the long vers...ion I heard of Peter through a friend, and I am so incredibly thankful to my friend for pointing me in Peter’s direction. Words can’t show how thankful I am that we had the pleasure and privilege of working with Peter through our green card application. Peter made the process incredibly seamless, keeping us informed of where we were in the process, any delays, any additional documents we needed to gather. Whenever we had any questions, Peter himself was there to answer them promptly. We initially started working with Peter while he was a part of Carson & Kyung, A Law Corporation. Along the way he left that firm and started his own. Not one to leave things unresolved, Peter reassured us that he would see our case all the way through because of the commitment he’d made. Covid made our case far more complicated than it should have been, and through it all we saw how incredible Peter is and how much he cares about his clients. During the application process we moved away from the Sacramento area, putting us in a different jurisdiction. Unfortunately our interviews were repeatedly rescheduled in Sacramento. Each time this happened Peter took action immediately and kept record of every call he made and letter he sent. Unfortunately USCIS made an administrative error that resulted in an initial denial for our case. Some lawyers would look at this situation and think “great, now I can make double the money from the same client” but not Peter. Peter went back and memorized the entire timeline of our case: every interview notice, every file submitted, dates of when he sent the request for the interview to be moved to the appropriate office, EVERYTHING. Then Peter went in person to talk with field agents at the Sacramento field office and didn’t leave until they acknowledged that they had made an error. I was completely blown away by his character, and when I thanked Peter for going above and beyond, he said “I do this because you guys are my clients and entrusted me with your case. This isn’t right”. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend working with Peter to anyone and everyone that is looking for a kind, patient, dedicated, and genuinely caring person that will make the immigration process seamless. The price we paid was an absolute bargain for the peace of mind that we got.

Great Lawyer - Trustworthy and Successful

Peter is a highly professional and dedicated legal practitioner. Peter embodies a deep knowledge of the law that is exemplary in the legal field. He is confident and trustworthy. In regard to our particular experience, we hired Peter to change our families status to obtain a green card. The process w...as efficient and successful. Peter was able to meet our expectations and at times, exceed them. I hope when you're looking for an immigration lawyer you take into account that professionalism and knowledge of the law can be the difference between success and failure.

Truly exceptional

Working with Peter was simply the best experience we could ever wish for with an immigration attorney. Peter went above and beyond to help us with our cases. After USCIS denied our initial Adjustment of Status (filed without an attorney), my wife and I came to see Peter, and he completely turned it a...round. Within several weeks of working with Peter, we filed another I-485 AOS, and our case was approved in just a few months with absolutely no problem. Two years after, we worked with Peter again on I-751 Removal of Conditions, and he made it look easy. Peter’s levels of responsiveness and thoroughness were amazing. He is incredibly detail-oriented and left no stone unturned. As a result, we got a confirmation that my new Green-card is on its way, and it has only been seven months since we filed! Peter is also one of the kindest and most compassionate people we met. From the first day of speaking with him, Peter had made us feel that he genuinely cared. His remarkable knowledge of immigration law, relationship with USCIS, and incredible professionalism are just a few examples of how exceptional an attorney he is. We highly recommend working with him on immigration-related matters. Coming to Peter was one of the best decisions we’ve made.

Excellent Service

It was excellent experience with Peter. I took consultation appointment and i was impressed with peter that how much effort he was ready to put in. He showed me clear path about how we can proceed. It sounded very honest, realistic and straight forward. I decided to go with him and i saw same passion..., commitment, detail and result oriented from beginning to the end. Throughout the procedure he was very responsive almost right away whenever i had any question through email. Everything was on time from peter. There were times when he supported me like a brother. He took excellent care of my case, interview and won. I had always confidence in him from day one that's how impressive he is. I would always recommend him to everyone.
