Calling federal prosecutors’ resolution of the criminal case against a Norcross immigration attorney “reasonable and generous,” U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg on Tuesday sentenced Bonnie Youn, 46, to two years probation and ordered her to pay a $5,245 fine. As a condition of her probation, Youn also was required to suspend her practice of law for two years.
The sentence followed Youn’s decision in January to resolve two-year-old felony charges that she had facilitated an immigrant client’s visa fraud, harbored an illegal immigrant and intimidated witnesses. She pleaded to a misdemeanor of aiding and abetting a client with advice to acquire a Georgia driver’s license, although she was not a state resident.
