Great immigration lawyer

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

Don't Waste Your Money on him!

I interacted with Tom 3 times, and each time he kept cutting me off and telling me to go do homework. He fought with me regarding my case and at the end of each conversation I forgot that I was paying him to represent me and he acted like he was doing me a favor. He explained topics to me like a chil...d and didn't listen, not sure how he is still a lawyer.

Honest

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.

"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. Immigration law is a difficult field and there are many lawyers who don't understand what is really involved in being a fully active and ongoing practitioner in the immigration law field. 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."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2021

updated on 12/01/2021

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.

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!”
