Is an immigration lawyer worth the cost?
We often get asked whether someone should hire an immigration lawyer or whether it is worth the cost. The answer is that your immigration process is one of the most important legal journeys that you may take in your life. Making a mistake, can not only cost you additional time and money, but may keep your family separated for years, sometime even a decade. In today’s ultra political world, immigration rules change on a weekly basis and it is difficult to keep up with the changes unless you concentrate your work in this area of law. A qualified immigration lawyer can assist you, your business or your family by providing the guidance necessary for a successful outcome.

We often receive inquiries about potential clients wanting to prepare their own forms and having the attorney review them for mistakes. While we understand the desire to reduce costs and immigration lawyer fees, the reality is that the form preparation is not a big part of the service. Knowing what immigration benefit a client qualifies for and how to properly answer questions and prepare a thorough petition is a much bigger portion of the attorney’s work and value. Further, in most cases, an immigration attorney will guide the client throughout the process beyond the actual preparation of the forms. Lastly, reviewing forms opens the attorney to essentially the same level of liability as if they had worked on the entire case. For the above reasons, we do not offer a review only service and in fact do not recommend one.
