Excellent, efficient, and knowledgeable and top immigration lawyers

Tom is a great immigration attorney he is very professional and knowledgeable about Immigration law and options. And always available to answer all my questions and generous with his time. My first time with him my case was successfully processed, since 2011 to 2016 until I got my US citizenship. ...I have to say thank you Tom. I am Hispanic and always recommend him in our community. Now am ongoing with my family With Tom is FREE phone consultation. Thank you.

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 would recommend

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 mad...e 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 !

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 re...sident status!!! Thank you Tom!

"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!”
