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!

one in the millions

Peter take it personal and fought for my wife and I when our immigration application was unfavorably "denied". It was an unbearable stress and anxiety my family and I went through. Peter took our case very seriously and won us our well deserved right to be together. Peter will treat your case as if i...ts his own (literally). Most importantly, he will always pick up your call, if he is busy we will call back within a short hour. In my opinion, with Peter, professionalism and ethics is at its finest. We owe him many generations of American to come. My personal advice. Avoid the mistake we made. Never go to an Immigration Consultant. they are not lawyer!. Please do yourself and family a huge favor and seek a Professional Immigration Attorney. Remember, your future is priceless!

Thank you, Nhan and P. Though I was extremely concerned about your case when you presented it to me after your denial, I was thrilled to see that we were able to reverse their decision. I am glad to see that you and P are doing well and that you obtained the decision you deserved, particularly when other aspects of your lives outside of your relationship are so challenging. Thank you for writing these kind words. I do feel that they accurately describe how seriously I take every case. I'm glad to have helped. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to serve you both as your attorney. Though it was challenging because we only had less than a month to reverse their decision and it seemed impossible, we did it and now it is all in the past. Wishing you both success, happiness, and good health in 2016!

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.

Congratulations, David. I'm thankful that you chose to hire me despite the other attorneys and am glad our outcome was successful. You and O were great to work with and it was my pleasure to get to know you both and laugh along the way. I trust you're doing very well now that you're employed in the area of your expertise. It was great getting to know you, buddy. Please take care and hope to hear from you and O again in the future.

Look no further if you want an excellent lawyer

My wife and I hired Peter to assist with our immigration case to apply for her green card. Not only is he very professional, but personable. He put all of our worries to ease and we are so thankful we chose him for our case. Peter makes himself very accessible and responded to all of our emails withi...n minutes. He was always on top of our case, sometimes notifying us of news prior to us receiving it ourselves.I have no doubt that the success and quick duration of our case was due to his organized, thoughtful and diligent work. I would recommend him to anyone I know going through any step of the immigration process.

Congratulations, Ericha and A. I am confident A did extremely well on her exams and I hope to see you on this side of the bar, Ericha. The bar of California would be lucky to have an intelligent and tenacious individual like yourself. It was wonderful obtaining the successful result we had hoped for and I wish you both the best! I hope to hear from you both again soon and do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about school and beyond. I am sure you're going to do extremely well, but don't forget that you can always reach out as a friend! Wishing the best for you and A.

Attorney Kyung is the best!

Mere words are not enough to express how much we appreciate Peter Kyung. When we began our immigration process, we felt it was so confusing, and we were lost as to where to start. After one visit with Attorney Kyung, we felt like our problem wasn't as huge as we thought it was. He completed all of th...e tedious paperwork, he filed all the appropriate forms, and his communication through the entire process was just amazing. He constantly kept us abreast as to the status of our case, and exactly what was taking place at each step. But to top it off....Attorney Kyung personally attended our Immigration Interview with us! To have him physically attend that interview with us relieved so much nervousness and anxiety we had on that date. We felt that he went over and beyond in caring for us through this entire process from the very beginning, all the way to the end. Not only is he wonderful to work with, but he also has amazing office staff. We are so confident with Attorney Kyung's work, that we are planning to hire him again to assist our children with an immigration case. When you trust someone to care for your children, you have a lot of confidence in them. We HIGHLY recommend Attorney Peter Kyung!! We can't thank him enough!

Thank you, again, for your encouraging words Patrick and Uylanda. As I had mentioned before, it was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to represent you. Indeed, it was a blessing and I'm thankful to have you both as friends. Please continue to pray for me and our firm as that's what keeps us going. I am glad and thankful that you received the deserved benefit you sought.
