Bonnie Youn/Youn Law Group

The Youn Law Group believes that an investment in a good immigration attorney is an investment in your family’s future. It may take many years to obtain your green card through employment or family sponsorship and subsequently to sponsor your relatives to come to the U.S. Many of their clients come to them after they have already encountered serious problems with their immigration cases. It is far better to build your case on a solid foundation, rather than have to fix your case after a shaky start. YLG provides a full range of immigration legal services. They specialize in applying for work visas, company and investor visas, US lawful permanent residency (green cards) and US Citizenship. YLG is committed to providing superior, dedicated guidance to clients lost in the complex maze of US immigration.

The Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association (GAPABA) is now 22 years old. Having started from a handful of attorneys who combed the GA Bar Directory for Asian names, they now have a reach of over 400 attorneys, judges and law students. As the organization has matured, and the APA population in Georgia has grown 83% over the past decade, justice in Georgia now has an Asian Pacific American face.

Chris Paradise/Crown Communities
