About Susie

Susie admires the risks immigrants take when they leave behind their families, language, and culture for a completely new experience in the US. It was this appreciation of the immigrant mindset that led her to practice immigration law. Prior to attending law school, Susie worked on immigration case management as a human resource professional for a Fortune 500 pharmaceuticals company. She has significant experience working on complex due diligence elements related to all areas of corporate restructuring, including mergers and acquisitions.

Susie enjoys the challenges of working on Permanent Labor Certifications, as the Department of Labor’s continuous trend-setting initiatives keep her on her toes. Her most memorable moment as an immigration lawyer was working with an Indian-born employee and their family for ten years, helping them to obtain their green cards right before their oldest child turned 21 (considered “aging out” in US immigration law). Susie’s work ensured that the whole family was able to stay together in the US.

Susie has been recognized as an “Emerging Lawyer” by the Leading Lawyers Network and is a “Leading Women Lawyers” recipient. She volunteers with the ACLU and the Korean American Community Services legal clinic.
