The American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division has selected Amin R. Yacoub, a business immigration attorney at Bogin, Munns & Munns, P.A., as a recipient of its 2026 On the Rise — Top 40 Young Lawyers Award. The annual national award recognizes 40 ABA young lawyer members who demonstrate exceptional achievement, innovation, leadership, and service to the legal profession and their communities.
Yacoub, based in Orlando, was chosen for his accomplishments as a business immigration attorney, legal scholar, and advocate for individuals and businesses navigating the U.S. immigration system. He represents clients nationwide in employment-based immigration matters, with a particular focus on EB-2 National Interest Waiver and EB-1 Extraordinary Ability petitions. His practice serves professionals, entrepreneurs, physicians, scientists, engineers, researchers, and investors.
What sets Yacoub apart is his personal experience: he obtained permanent residency through the National Interest Waiver process himself. This gives him a firsthand understanding of what is at stake for his clients. "Immigration cases are rarely just paperwork. They decide where someone builds a career, raises a family and contributes their work," Yacoub said. "I went through the National Interest Waiver process myself, so I know what my clients are carrying while they wait. This recognition belongs as much to them as it does to me."
Spencer Munns, President at Bogin, Munns & Munns, praised Yacoub's recognition: "This national recognition reflects Amin's commitment to excellence, innovation and service. His knowledge of immigration law, thoughtful approach to advocacy and dedication to his clients make him an important member of our firm and a deserving recipient of this honor."
Yacoub is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and multiple federal courts. His professional work extends beyond client representation; he is also an accomplished legal scholar whose published work has been cited by courts and scholars in the United States and internationally. He earned a Master of Laws in International Law from New York University School of Law, where he received a full-tuition scholarship and served as a graduate editor of the NYU Journal of International Law and Politics.
The ABA Young Lawyers Division announced its 2026 class of On the Rise — Top 40 Young Lawyers honorees on June 30, 2026. The award highlights the impact of young lawyers who are shaping the legal profession and serving their communities.
