Elliot M.S. Yi

My fiancee and I hired Elliot Yi to represent us in the legal matter in connection with a Fiancee Visa application 14 months ago. Today we received an email stating the released document relating to our Visa application was being sent via the courier to my fiancee in his country. He will leave in ei...ght weeks to join me in the U.S. We will have a December wedding. Our conversations have been via phone, emails and postal mail, and yet it seems we have met personally, as Elliot is so personable and yet very professional. He has an extremely reasonable flat rate fee and works with us at any time we have questions and responds in an exceptional and unique manner. I have received emails answering my questions late at night and on weekends. I love that he personally answers each phone call I have made with a friendly “Hello Maya”. Elliot's sensitivity to our complex situation was compassionate, kind and thoughtful. His instructions were thorough and meticulous along with his patience, which surpassed my expectations and calmed my many frustrations as I was filling out the detailed forms that had to be completed, copied, signed, mailed and sometimes, seemingly, repeated. We cannot recommend Elliot Yi highly enough as an Immigration Attorney. He knows what he is doing and always gave us the assurance during these many months that we could get through the “hoops” of the tedious but necessary forms. We are looking forward to working with Elliot through our many months ahead to complete my fiancee's immigration process.

Elliot is just so professional, he is extremely detailed oriented, he handled all of our documents with surgical care, I just can't tell you enough how easy he made things for us. We are a bi-national gay couple, we hired Elliot to help apply for an adjustment of status. He was by our side through ev...ery step, made sure we understood everything. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer, look no further, you just found a GREAT one.

The BEST lawyer in Portland. I was on F-1 student visa and I worked with Mr. Elliot on filing for my permanent residency through marriage. The whole process was very quick and fast because of his professional and organized work with filing my papers. There was no problem at all. He's a great lawyer ...and very hard working. Through the whole process he always kept me updated it with my case. I highly recommend this lawyer to work with. He's overall process is very excellent.

I am a refugee from Syria. I came to the US without money and connections. I had many immigration questions that no lawyer wanted to answer them without me having to schedule an appointment for a fee or promise to hire him/her. I made tens of calls to immigration lawyers in the Portland area trying t...o get information and answers, and all of them didn't want to talk about it over the phone. Except one, and that is attorney Elliot Yi. He didn't just answer all my questions no matter how many times I called him, he even took my case free of charge. He represented me and helped me win my case all the way until I got my green card. During the process I didn't have to call him for updates, because he kept in constant touch with me assuring me that he is on top of everything and the fact that he is not getting paid for maybe one of the toughest immigration case, doesn't mean he is not going to give it his full attention and the best of his effort. I have never met any other lawyer in my life who is so professional, knowledgeable, honest and responsible as much as attorney Elliot Yi.

I went to Elliot M.S. Yi based on a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Being a first time landlord, a situation arose to seek legal council with a dispute over a security deposit. I have not had much interaction with lawyers before, but my mind was put at ease very quickly with ...how informed Elliot was with my situation before he even billed a single hour or had our first meeting. Everything was explained very intelligently, but in understandable terms and I never felt "out of the loop" with the status of the case. communication was excellent throughout our interaction, and no requests I had were met with annoyance or hesitance. Although Landlord/Tenant law was not a specialty of Elliot's, I truly believe he went out of his way to make us feel like we were having our case handled as well as anybody well versed in this specialty. The case had a large amount of variables concerning the wording of our lease agreement, as well as specific laws that applied to them, and our tenants rights to the deposit. It was handled amazingly, and I felt very secure in the outcome as well as any ongoing issues with our tenants relating to the deposit until the closure of the case. He was very flexible with meetings and times, and worked great around my schedule. Even bringing in my children to his office was met with hospitality at all times. I would most definitely recommend Elliot to anybody needing any type of legal council, and would call him again in a second. Thanks again!
