We met Elektra though YouTube, googled her law firm and decided to book a strategy session. It was 100% worth it as she gave her honest opinion about our case and answered all our questions. She is very knowledgeable.

From start to finish, Attorney Elektra's professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail left a lasting impression on me. One of the aspects that impressed me the most was the thoroughness with which Attorney Elektra answered all of my questions. She patiently listened to my concerns and took the time to provide clear and comprehensive explanations. Her in-depth knowledge of the O1 visa process was evident, and she confidently addressed each of my inquiries, leaving no stone unturned.

At the beginning of 2023, I started learning and reading to understand about the O-1 Visa. Contacted many lawyers that left me more confused than I was🙃. So I decided to keep trying by myself when I fould a Youtube video from Elektra and inmediatly called and schedule the consultation. From the first meeting everything we talked, was so clear. She made me undertand how the visa worked and also stated how she had worked in the past. Every detail and information was given from the moment I said yes. This entire process was incredibly organized, and structured! I definitely knew that I was working with experts and very talented group of lawyers. I am very thankful to say that I chose Yao Law Group to represent me through my succesful O-1 visa. Not to mention we did all the proces in a month and a half!!!!! And I really thank the team so much for their communication, patience, and incredible work. If you’re trying to get your Visa, do not hesitate to do it with Yao Law Group. This is the group of lawyers you’ve been looking for. Thank you Elektra and the entire team that helped me so much though this process.

Choosing Yao Law Group for my O-1 process was the best decision I made. With the help of Elektra and her amazing team, my change of status to O-1 was approved. I had met with other lawyers before but none seemed confident about the process or the extent to which they would be able to help. Whereas, from the very first consultation, Elektra provided a sense of confidence and calm that assured me to move forward with the petition. Throughout the entire preparation of the case, Elektra and her team (specific shoutout to Hershey and Kenyi) were always available to answer my questions and give specific guidance. The entire team was diligent and quick, which was particularly useful as mine was a rush case. Specific systems of check-ins and updates ensured that nothing slipped through the cracks, and everything was being done on time in order to meet our deadlines. A significant portion of the process was also making sure that I was gathering all the documents and such, delivering them in a timely fashion, and following up on them, which allowed them to keep working on the case and keep things moving smoothly on their end. Elektra and her team ensures that you feel empowered throughout the process, their diligent and consistent communication ensures that you never feel out of the loop, and in my case, they delivered the results by getting me the approval. I am so very grateful to the entire team at Yao Law Group!

Felt very anxious going through the O1 visa process but Elektra and her team has made my feel secure and protected all through out. They guide you every step of the way and are very responsive to questions even if they’re random. They do all the legal work but you yourself as a client should also be doing your own work as well, it really felt like a collaboration and a really good one. We were able to maximize my case and got a very positive result. I am so grateful for their firm, highly recommended! 😄

When I did my first consultation with elektra she made me feel safe and made me feel like her and her team would be able to get the job done. And they did! Before working with them, I was told by another lawyer that my case would not be possible. And elektra proved what was said to be "impossible" was POSSIBLE! Elektra and her team worked fast and diligently even answering my emails past business hours. Every conversation was very thorough and they made sure that every decision I was making during this process would be the best decision for me. Elektra is very honest and will let you know what needs to be done to achieve the goal. And her legal team including her assistant and paralegal were very helpful and thoughtful of what I may need through this process. Elektra and her team even included a schedule for me to follow and kept me up to date with what I needed to do to make sure that the case was a success! If you're looking for a team that will get the job done I HIGHLY recommend Yao law group!
