A results-oriented attorney, Jiyoung decided to practice law due to her own personal struggles with immigration law. For over 15 years, she encountered and overcame many hardships related to obtaining the needed visas to study and work legally in the U.S. until finally earning her green card. It was working with her immigration attorney where she realized the impact an attorney can have on their clients’ lives and she wanted to be someone who provides legal access to those in need.
Clients enjoy working with Jiyoung and appreciate her responsiveness, prompt communications, and tireless work ethic. Her goal is to be a trusted adviser for her clients who understands their business and is committed to their growth.
Jiyoung served as a judicial extern for the Honorable Jessica S. Allen of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.

Jiyoung earned both her Master of Arts degree and Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
