Fue muy fácil trabajar con Elliot e hizo que las tarjetas de residencia de mi esposa e hijas fueran muy sencillas. Conocía todos los pasos y sabía cómo serían las entrevistas cuando teníamos preguntas de por qué estaba disponible y fue muy reconfortante trabajar en este momento de nervios. para nosotros. ~James, March 27, 2018 Dependable, Courteous, and Professional He was a great adviser to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of being reunited seemed impossible. Not only was Elliot able to help me get approved for a re-entry permit, his calm and empathetic demeanor gave me much needed support as I went through the process. Elliot did a great job keeping me updated and communicating with me every step of the way. ~anonymous, March 8, 2018 Excellent attorney Elliot is a wonderful person. I have worked with several attorneys throughout the years, Elliot is by far the most reliable, loyal, "on the case" with your best interest in mind. Very cordial, thorough, knowledgable, hears you and remembers all details provided. I highly recommend Elliot's services, he exceeds one's expectations and makes the process so much easier. ~Gabriela, October 4, 2017 Best Immigration Lawyer I contacted Elliot Yi from this website. A few years ago, then again last year for my immigration case. Elliot is more than knowledgable and takes his work seriously. He would always, always reply to my emails very quickly (within 24 hours if not sooner AND I had a lot of questions as you know when going through the immigration process). I would recommend, him to anyone who's going through immigration and need some assistance on any level of the process. He held my hand from the beginning to the end and I could not be any more satisfied. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer and you don't have a lot of money at your disposal then call him. He is, simply put the very best lawyer I've ever met. Thank you Elliot! ~anonymous, January 20, 2017
