Best attorney one could ask for

Peter is simply an excellent immigration attorney who will guide you through every step of the way and will tell you exactly what needs to be done to be successful with your case. Every single positive review you read about him and his team is 100% true. Peter genuinely cares about his clients and "h...e is such a good kid" like my mother says. I don't doubt there are other attorneys who know the law just as well as Peter and are just as capable to handle your case, BUT, with Peter you know he will be there for you along the way to answer your questions, make you feel at ease and reassure you in times you're in doubt and stressing about your case. His rates are very reasonable too, and there are no hidden fees or surprises. I hired Peter for two cases, my mother's naturalization (N400) and to obtain my certificate of citizenship through my U.S citizen father (N600). I also wanted a passport without having to wait for almost a year for my certificate just so I could travel this year. Peter prepared the paperwork I needed to apply for a passport which I now hold in my hand. I remember emailing Peter to "complain" that the two post office locations I visited told me I could not apply for a passport without the certificate, Peter then called me (in less than an hour of receiving my e-mail!) to reassure me that I could indeed apply and to basically just trust him. I don't know many attorneys who will take the time to call a client outside of business hours as soon as they receive an email to reassure them there is no issue, but Peter certainly did. Sure enough, the third post office location I visited not only accepted my application but the clerk was impressed with how well prepared I was to prove my citizenship and eligibility for a passport. Needless to say, both our cases were approved. My mother successfully completed her interview (thanks to Peter's guidance) and is now scheduled for her oath, while I have my passport , received my certificate ahead of schedule and I'm ready for my trip! Thank you Peter and Allyson!

My Honest Review

My spouse and I would like to express our utmost gratitude and satisfaction for Peter and his team throughout the green card application process. Like most people, this process has caused a lot of anxiety for me personally. However, Peter's expertise, professionalism, and dedication have put my mind ...at ease and made the process less stressful. After working with him, I ensure that those online reviews are very accurate. I have compiled a list of my own reasons why you should consider Peter as your immigration lawyer, based on my personal experience with him. 1. During our initial consultation, my first impression of Peter was that he is very knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the process. He ensured that every aspect of my case was thoroughly addressed, which is why I chose to work with him. 2. Peter's attention to detail is incredible. I recall a time when there were some conflicting details in our job history due to our own mistake, but he immediately caught and rectified the issue. 3. Peter and Allyson are highly accessible. They are very quick in responding to our questions. Every email I send is promptly answered, usually within an hour. This level of responsiveness significantly helped make the process smoother and faster. I hope this helps.

Best Attorney In Sacramento

There are absolutely no words to thank Peter & his staff enough for all the help and assistance they provided my husband and I throughout my AOS journey/process. I am beyong thankful and pleased with his work and representation on this case. Peter is a very knowledgeable attorney, attentive to detail... and very organized. Even though I am familiar with immigration law, Peter always made sure my husband understood every step of the process. Peter and his staff were nothing but professional and efficient, and without a doubt someone who I will recommend to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. Thank you Peter.

Citizenship

Peter was very helpful in assisting me with my N600 and it process from start to finish. He updated me with my status and also replies back to me promptly with any issues. I would recommend him and him in the future.

Happy Client

When my wife and I moved back to the US in the summer of 2022 we were quite concerned with how we were going to navigate the immigration and change of status issue that we were facing. Although we had been married for a number of years already, understanding and dealing with the numerous forms and r...equired documentation was daunting for us. We felt that there was no good way to really know exactly what we needed or if we were making a critical mistake when filling out information or submitting documents. Mr. Kyung and his office were an absolute godsend. From the first conversation we had with him his reassurance and gentle manner put at us at ease. He laid out our options very succinctly and openly and for the first time we felt that this task would not be insurmountable. We did not feel any pressure to commit, Peter simply laid out our options along with his pricing structure and then left the choice up to us. Both my wife and I felt that having Peter manage our case would be well worth the cost. Almost 8 months later we were proven correct. My wife’s case was approved and we received her green card in record time. We believe in large part this was due to Peter’s good standing with the courts and immigration offices. Peter always made himself available to us if we had any questions (sometimes even responding to emails we sent late into the evening) Any concerns we had he dealt with in a very warm, compassionate, and understanding manner. We got the very real sense that he was on our side as well as on the case. Our whole family appreciates what Mr. Kyung has done for us and he and his team have our immense gratitude.
