Great immigration lawyer

Jessica Yu is a great immigration lawyer from Bellevue, Washington. She is very knowledgeable in her fields of legal practice, and also respectful, and truly cares about her client's needs. Jessica gave me great advice and kept me informed along the entire process. I highly recommend her services... to anyone who deals with immigration matters.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
