About Bonnie Monique
Bonnie Monique Youn is a dedicated immigration attorney based in Atlanta, Georgia — She earned her Juris Doctor from Boston University School of Law in 1991. Prior to that, she completed her Bachelor of Arts in English & American Literature at Brown University in 1987. With over 30 years of legal experience, Youn has established herself as a prominent figure in the field of immigration law. Admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1995, Youn expanded her practice by joining the Georgia Bar in 1996. Her legal career has been marked by significant milestones, including her role as a staff attorney for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition to her work in appellate law, she founded her own law firm, which specializes in employment and family-based immigration law.
This firm has allowed her to directly assist clients with their immigration needs, handling the requirements of U.S. immigration policies. In 2016, Youn faced disciplinary action from the State Bar of Georgia. She pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge related to advising a client to obtain a Georgia driver's license under false pretenses. As a result, she was suspended from practicing law for 18 months. Her reinstatement in June 2018 came after she fulfilled all conditions set by the court — This lets the attorney resume her legal practice.
