Stephanie Ko

Stephanie Ko graduated from Seattle University School of Law. She left the Boeing Company in 1999 to start her own practice. Her practice is focused in three areas of law: business, immigration and estate planning. She finds that helping clients to fulfill their dreams is far more rewarding than negotiating multi-million dollar international contracts for corporate America. Making a difference one person at a time is what motivates Stephanie.

As an immigrant herself, she knows exactly what her immigration clients go through during the lengthy immigration process. In her ten years record as an immigration attorney, she has never had one single case denied by the Citizenship and Immigration Services. She even got the all time record of having Citizenship and Immigration Services approved her intra-company transfer case in three days.

Stephanie strategically selects these three areas of law as foreign investors need help in all these three areas. She was invited by the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development as a subject area expert to speak on investor immigration in its symposium in Shanghai, 2009. Stephanie is one of the authors of the book Doing Business in Washington, published by the Washington State Bar Association, International Practice Section. The fourth edition of this book is currently being updated and translated into Chinese. This book will be used by the Governor of the State of Washington and its delegation during its trade mission to China in April 2010.

Stephanie was the past president of the International Practice Session of the Washington State Bar Association and served in its executive committee for over five years. In that capacity, she helped hosting annual receptions for hundreds of foreign lawyers during their study at the University of Washington’s LLM program.
