Professional misconduct


This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority.

  • Reprimand
    issued in WA, 2013

    updated on 09/15/2017

    This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

    Tom's comment:“Following the Reprimand, the Justice Department certified me qualified to be a US Immigration Judge fifty seven (57) times in 2014 & 2016. USDOJ should know, right? The Reprimand? A former MP, he wanted to handle his own (difficult) removal case& I didn't withdraw quick enough from his proceedings, so he filed a grievance. So then I moved to withdraw. But then the client changed his mind. So I went on to win his removal case. Client wished to withdraw his grievance but the Bar wouldn't let him!”

Great immigration lawyer

Posted by

Mr. Tom Youngjohn is very genuine about caring for his customers, even when he doesn’t get paid. He takes the time to listen and give valid answers and makes sure he got all of your questions answer. I would highly recommend Mr. Tom Youngjohn for any immigration case. He’s the one of greatest person that I’ve met, and he is kind and nice to everyone. I am Buddhist monk and I am working with him over 3 years. He helped me throughout the entire process, kept me informed on all notices, and sent me reminders. It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Tom Youngjohn. His knowledge and understanding of the USCIS regulations is spot on. He tells you the honest truth about the processes and makes sure you are prepared both mentally and with all desired/required documentation. Call him and he will give you a free consultation

Honest

Posted by

Hardly ever write any reviews but I thought I would this time because Tom was our lawyer to help my mother change her immigration status and my experience with him was what anyone should expect from a lawyer. Our case with him went smooth and fast, I am sure it went that way because he educated us on the steps needed, what paperwork we should have and send so we wouldn't have to be sending more stuff in the future. Refreshing when you hear the truth and not what you wanna hear. He has earned a positive referral from me to my friends and people I know.

Very Impressive

Posted by

My application for citizenship was complicated by several factors, and the first several attorneys that looked at my case said that they could not handle it - that I would be better served by someone who had a better record with tough cases. They recommended Tom Youngjohn. Now that I am a U.S. citizen, I am so grateful for that recommendation. Tom is a rare combination of intelligence, affability, and integrity. It is no wonder that he has a long and impressive list of successes with immigration cases. My family and I will be forever indebted to this man for his expert help during a very stressful time of our lives. R.R.

Brilliant Attorney!

Posted by

Tom Youngjohn is the greatest immigration attorney I've ever met. I was in the middle of losing in my request to change my status before I spoke with him, for free, on the phone. Mr. Youngjohn can charm the birds out of the trees, and coaxed an approval out of USCIS and now I can stay in the US as long as I want. Tom saved me, and kept me in this amazing country. God bless this man.

I would recommend

Posted by

I would recommend Tom Youngjohn to someone needing immigration assistance. He was very knowledgeable and together we completed and submitted my application and paperwork, letting me know what steps would be next. He later helped with a legal matter arising after submission of my application and made calls that completely resolved the issue. Any time I had questions, he replied the same day and my questions were answered completely. I feel the cost of his services were affordable and very fair.

Trustable !

Posted by

Absolutely, after a few years looking for a good lawyer that could solve my immigration status, I meet Tom, he told me exactly what to do and what kind of documents to have ready, he went with me through all the paper work, explain me the process and legislation . In less than 3 months I got the resident status!!! Thank you Tom!

Professional Immigration Attorney

After trying a couple lawyers before, Tom YoungJohn is very straight forward and explains every procedure step by step he will help you with all your Immigration needs. He helped me with everything I asked of him, and he gave me a garuntee for his work. With him I was very successful.

Green Card - Adjustment of Status

Posted by

Tom met with us around July, extensively explaining and addressing our concerns regarding our case. We knew right away that he was the lawyer that we wanted to go with, as Tom's passion for law is very strong. He is a very knowledgeable individual who craves facts and extensive research. He kept us informed throughout the whole process. His great knowledge helped us get through our interview, and we ended up being approved! With that being said, THANK YOU Tom for doing everything in your power to help us win as well as taking a big load of stress away for good.

I endorse this lawyer. Tom is passionate about immigration law. He puts his clients first. I have no reservation about referring those with immigration law needs to Tom.

You can trust Tom to know what needs to get done....and to do it in a timely fashion. Tom is devoted to this area of the law.
