My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Badmus & Associates. Cristal Trujillo and Benita Adams were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. They made everything clear and straightforward, ensuring I was well-informed at every step. Their dedication to providing top-notch legal services was evident, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Badmus & Associates to anyone in need of expert immigration legal services.

I was involved in a car accident on February 19, 2022, and Duke Seth, PLLC, provided me with exceptional legal support throughout the entire process. Meenu Seth, who was the main lawyer handling my case, along with Maureen Carter, went above and beyond to ensure that everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism and dedication.
Their expertise and attention to detail were evident from the start. They guided me through each step, kept me informed, and were always available to answer any questions I had. The personal attention I received from Meenu and Maureen made a challenging situation much easier to navigate, and I truly felt that my case was in the best possible hands.
The outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for, thanks to their hard work and commitment. I highly recommend Duke Seth, PLLC, and especially Meenu Seth and Maureen Carter, to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are not just skilled attorneys but also genuinely care about their clients.

There are times in your life when you need help, and when it seems like there is no hope in the world. I can never repay them for the most diligent work they provided for me, if you are in need of defense this is the place to go, I would not have what I have today if not for my team, they were excellent and got me through this process and I will never forget them. Thank you TCDG!!

I was referred to Vinesh Patel a few months ago to renew my green card which had well expired. I had gone on the website to do it last October but got lost in the sea of information turns out I was doing it all wrong. I had not applied for what I thought I wanted. I was beside myself completely lost and still no further ahead which was an awful worry to me so reached out to see about their costs etc. It wasn't at all as much as I had assumed so decided to employ their services. I cannot tell you how pleasantly shocked I was with their willingness to help, their attention to detail their ability to assure me to trust them, you are safe in their hands.
Usually, Lawyers are so very costly and each time you reach out to ask a question there's a charge. His office staff are so friendly informative and down to earth, understanding kind and willingly tell you if you need to know any more, they are available to serve you. They prioritize their clients as if you are a member of their family almost, no matter who you are. They can really put you at ease with the excellent services they provide and it's a way faster way of getting a perfect end result. Who could ask for more?
I can't fault them in any way and would highly recommend any of the girls who work there who I dealt with and my consult with Vinesh Patel.
They've got you covered 110% and I am so very thankful to have had them represent me leading to a seamless timely result.
Thank you so much Vinesh Patel Law Firm and staff, you are incredible. You simply cannot go wrong by employing their services.
Forever grateful
Margaret Ney.

Mr. Gonzalez and his team were incredibly easy to work with. They handled my case with care and attention, and treated me like family the entire time. They were more than happy to answer questions, explain things in a way I could easily understand, and to provide updates as everything progressed. They went out of their way to ensure that I was taken care of with as little out of pocket expenses as possible, with no tricks or surprises along the way. They even adjusted their own fees and pay to benefit me. Thats excellent service! End of the day, they did right by me and I would absolutely use them again. I would recommend them to anyone, hands down.

Let me start by saying Jesus met me on the day I was to accept a DWI plea. My attorney I hired couldn’t make it so Jesus met me there. Upon reading the conditions my attorney negotiated Jesus advised me that if I was his client he wouldn’t feel comfortable allowing me to sign it. He then negotiated with the prosecutor and got me a much better deal. Saved me $5,000 in fines and a lesser charge. He did all of this without billing me a dollar. I am so grateful and would recommend him to anyone who is facing criminal charges in Dallas.

I found Verdin Law firm by way of a recommendation from an attorney who is a personal friend and a person I have a high degree of trust in. He did not steer me wrong. I found the entire team at Verdin to be very professional and focused on meeting the needs of their clients. In particular Vanessa Evanoff who was our contact did a great job. I could not have asked for a more professional and efficient person to work with. The work she did on the visa request for my son's wife was done in a timely manner and she was always responded quickly to any questions we had. Her customer service attitude also made her a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Verdin Law.

Very good experience, I highly recommend them. Monica Navarez provided great guidance and support to us through our application. She was quick to respond via email, available over the phone when needed, and completed the paperwork in a timely manner. She is straightforward and honest in answering questions, we felt supported throughout the process, and our case got approved in less than a year. We are incredibly grateful for all the work they've done.

In 1981 at the age of 13, I arrived in the US as a refugee and received my green card shortly thereafter. In my youth, I committed multiple offenses, one of which was serious enough to be considered an "aggravated felony" for immigration purposes. However, despite of my record, I still wanted to become a citizen so that I could travel internationally without having to worry if I would clear immigration and customs upon returning. I also knew that my case would be complex and that I needed a good and experienced attorney to help me. My search started in 2010 (by this time I have been living as a green card holder for almost 30 years). I contacted multiple highly rated immigration attorneys listed on avvo.com and felt the most comfortable and confident with Mr. Chavez.
The process began with the office conducting a comprehensive review of my background and obtaining certified copies of court records. The work was impressive as they did not miss anything, and I know for certain that I could have never done this myself.
After carefully reviewing my record, Mr. Chavez recommended that, for now, I should not apply for citizenship because the risk was too high that USCIS could start removal proceeding against me. His strategy was for me to continue to follow the law, volunteer my time, and wait until the law is more favorable to my case before applying. I was devastated with this news because to me it meant to forget about ever becoming a citizen and this was the end of the road.
However, I didn't give up and neither did Mr. Chavez. I set a reminder and send an email to Mr. Chavez every few months just to check if there are any changes to the law that would benefit me. Then six years later (2016), Mr. Chavez and Caitlin Twyman contacted me to let me know that there is a pending case with the Supreme Court that could help (or hurt) me, depending on the decision. (The case is Mathis v. United States: http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/mathis-v-united-states/). After determining that Mathis v. United States helps my situation, Mr. Chavez recommended that I apply.
With renewed confidence (on my part), and with the help of the office, we submitted my N-400 application in December 2016. On 03/22/2018, I had my interview with USCIS. During the interview, I was accompanied by Mr. Mark Lee (one of the excellent attorneys at the office). After the interview, the Officer stated that because my case was complicated, he needed more time to review (this usually means a long delay). However, Mr. Lee requested that the Officer review my while we were there so that we could answer any questions he may have. To my surprise, the Officer agreed and after reviewing my file, he verbally told us that he would recommend "approval" for my application. However, his decision was not final and pending a review/approval by his supervisor (this meant that it could be denied even though he wanted to approve). I believed what Mr. Lee did expedited the process by at least a few months and greatly helped my case. Then on 03/30/2018, I received a phone call from the Officer (who was great) informing me that my case has received final approval. Wooohooo, this was one of the best news I have received in a long time!!!!
After taking the Oath and receiving my certificate of naturalization on 04/17/2018, I feel as if I have been reborn, and I am forever grateful for the work done by Mr. Chavez, Mr. Lee, Ms. Twyman, Ariel, Beatriz and the support staff. So if you need help with any immigration matter, don’t hesitate to contact the office of Mr. Chavez and Valko.

I'd like to Thank the Office of Chavez and Valko for their hard work. I was very pleased with their extensive preparation for my case. They are very professional and courteous. For a little over 9 years, I had consulted with other immigration forms, and non of them could help me. They always gave me the "run-around" and uncertainty for my case. Being that another firm had lost all of our documents for immigration, With Chavez and Valko hard work, they were able to "find" copies of my documetns dating back to 1994! Also, during the interview, the officer was surprised that Chavez and Valko were able to get copies o fhtese documents. The officer also congratulated Chavez and Valko for this accomplishment. He said, " I had never seen such preparation for a case." This speaks alot of Chavez and Valko's professionalism, and integrity. Thank You Again for Your Hard Work, Support, and Dedication.
Muchisimas Gracias al equipo de Chavez&Valko. Despues de 9 años de consultr con otros abogados, Chavez&Valko encontraron la solucion para mi caso. Los abogados (desde McAllen, TX, Chicago, IL, incluso Washington, PA) solo me dejaban con la insertidumbre de mi caso. Jamas me dieron ningun animo de que me caso se fuera a resolver. Los abogados de Chavez&Valko pudieron encontrar copias de mis documentos del 1994. Asi es que pude realizar mi caso. En la entrevista con imigracion, el mismo oficial hasta se sorprendio que Chavez&Valko pudieron encontrar estos documentos. Recuerdo que el oficial felicito a nuestro abogado por su excelente preaparation de nuestro caso incluso menciono, "jamas habia visto un caso tan bien preparado y organizado.". Eso habla bastante de la integridad de Chavez&Valko. Y fue asi, con la certeza de Chavez&Valko pudde resolver mi caso. Muchisimas Gracias!

The Fact that Farid takes your case with a passion is huge. In this day and age, people tend to care about themselves and don't take others personal life into consideration, he was very understanding, knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and in control of the situation. He lets you know not only through his words, but through his actions, how hard he fights for you. No small task or detail is to small for Farid. He fought for a long time to get me the best outcome I could have for my situation. He is respected in the courtroom, And when the agreement was made, he didn't let any prosecutor toy around with my case. I will recommend Farid to anybody that has a situation come about that needs the most attention and someone willing to fight for the best outcome.

My family is very lucky to have found Atty. Rachel at a time when we were just starting here in the US and we were at a loss as to how to go about with the immigration process. We just got her contact number from a friend and yet, she did not hesitate to accept my call and answer all my questions. She is very accommodating that you would feel like you have known her all your life. She was able to give us advice and helped us figure out on how to go through the case of our daughter which is quite complicated. We've never met such an unselfish and generous lawyer. She is amazing and I strongly recommend her for any type of immigration services. Thank you very, very much, Atty. Rachel.

As the saying goes, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”, that is exactly the approach Rachel Giron takes in making sure she is actively listening in order to provide my husband and I with the best service. Rachel is very efficient. She always return our phone calls in a timely manner. There is always a smile and a willingness to answer any and every question asked when we are uncertain of what was needed to be done.
We are overall extremely satisfied with the overall outcome of our immigration matters.
We would gladly and willingly recommend anyone to her based on our experience working with her.
She has a peaceful demeanor and a calm disposition that allows us to ask her questions, while she guides us through what immigration requires in order to have a successful outcome.
Would highly recommend her service to anyone.

Susan is an impressive immigration attorney that gives several options depending on your circumstances. Gave me hope as opposed to another immigration attorney who just gave me one outcome and did not think outside the box. As an accountant my chances of getting a green card through the employer route had a high chance of being denied. She assisted in every step of the process and when there was a request for evidence, she guided us through the process. I ended up getting my permanent residence in April 2014 and have no regrets with her services. I will highly recommend her.

I 100% recommend Susan for any kind of immigration services. Below is my experience:
Susan handled my H1B transfer when I changed employer, and I have less than a year on my H1B. Susan was very informative, she clearly explains process and provides necessary information to the candidate which will give sufficient time to collect information timely whether it could be data and documents.
Now the interesting part is, I have less than a year on my current H1B, and if I am not at certain stage (I-140) of Green Card process, I can't continue my stay. Everyone told me now there is no hope and it's already late and I also lost hope.
As soon as Susan taken up my H1B transfer case, in parallel she explained the urgency my situation to my employer and initiated Green card process as it's time sensitive.
She acted really fast with out giving any chance for further complications, which is not possible with a commanding knowledge/background on the case area dealing with.
Long story shot, With in 3 months my PERM got approved, and in another less than a month I-140 got approved and now got 3 years of H1B extension with NO RFEs.
Susan and her team were really responsive to my queries, providing necessary information in advance. I highly recommend their services.

Susan and her staff are very prompt and responsive. Their response times are amazingly fast.
I worked with them remotely (without visiting their office) through my employer but they seem to be very well structured and have clear established operating processes that makes interacting with them a delight.
Susan herself stays on top of all communication, even the most trivial matters, which gives me (as a client) an assurance that my concerns are addressed very well. I've worked with few other law firms before and Susan's firm is clearly one of the best I've seen.

He did an amazing job with my mom's immigration case for adjustment of immigration status to obtain her Lawful permanent residency. He kept pushing and making sure he was keeping us updated on the case with major appointments and major steps in the process. From the beginning, he was just wonderful and understanding and explained everything with how the case would go. Something he did that was the most important thing to us was that he didn’t turn us down even though how difficult the case seemed, he didn’t give up on our case. We are truly blessed and grateful for what Robert did for us.

Linda Akwa represented me in my Daughters custody case.
My case was a complicated case. My Daughter's grandmother opened the suit claiming she had taken care of my Daughter for over 6 months and was trying to take her away from her Mother while the whole time my daughter was living with me. After a few appearances representing myself in court I saw the complexity of this case and decided I would need legal representation. I talked to several attorneys and none stood out, assistants could not answer most questions, lawyers were taking too long to call back, some said they would not take on my case, etc. I talked to Linda's assistant and she was able to answer all my questions and her office was always responsive. I was impressed with the professionalism all around. Linda was able to bring out facts in court and together with her hard work, dedication to her profession, her knowledge, experience she brought it all in court and won my case. I am impressed and Blessed to have had her represent me. She is who I refer people to when people ask about a lawyer now. God Bless her for everything she has done.

I hope my experience provides comfort for those deciding whether or not to choose Jennifer at Chavez and Valko to represent them regarding their immigration issues. There is no one better than Jennifer.
I'm a US citizen who was lucky enough to fall in love with my wonderful wife who happens to be an immigrant. We married, had a child and then faced a critical life changing issue involving her ability to become a permanent USA resident. We searched the internet for help and landed upon Chavez and Valko. From our first meeting, we knew we came to the right place.
Attorney Jennifer provided expertise well beyond our expectations and was available, day or night to answer any questions. Jennifer was always by our side, every inch of the way, including up to the USCIS interview. The USCIS official stated that the documentation she submitted was most organized ever seen. USCIS approved our application in 15 minutes! Jennifer was awesome in every way possible - the very best!
There are many positive characteristics about Jennifer including her proven expertise in immigration law and superior professionalism that includes straightforward interaction with her clients; however, as impressive is her sincere, caring attitude. It's obvious she loves what she does - helping people. All of these virtues are hard to find, but we found them with Jennifer.

Without getting into actual details, I will give you my experience with him. 10 years ago after spending money on the "Big Name" Attorney's in Tampa (who did nothing and had no plan) I ran into Mr. Baer, the new guy out of Texas. He made no promises but did some things at the time I thought were CRAZY! I was thinking "that sounds good, but just like the other Attorneys told me, no way they are going to go for that" I had that planted in my head, but Mr. Baer told me all they can do is turn us down. Still not convinced however, I let him do it his way. Now that I look back on it you can't do "normal things" and expect "crazy results" You have to be a little bit crazy if you want to crush it. That is exactly what he did CRUSHED IT! Everything he asked for we got! Stephen Baer is legit! If you have a Federal Case and you don't at least have him look at it. YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF AN INJUSTICE! Not that I would ever want to go through that again, but if I did the only person in my Corner I would want. Would be be Attorney Stephen Baer. Can't thank him enough. I just ran into his name again (10 years Later) while searching for immigration Attorney's. Couldn't be any happier. I will be hiring him again, if he will take my case.

I had a pleasure of meeting and working with Stephen as his client a few years ago.
Stephen was very knowledgeable and truly professional in his counseling. Always thorough, he worked hard and did everything in his power to help me. His advice was extremely helpful. Most importantly, Stephen was very personable. He cared for me and my family's well being and I'm grateful for that and for all his hard work.
Stephen Baer is an exceptional attorney, and I highly recommend him!

The whole divorce process knocked the wind out of me but the family law team at Carney & Associates guided me each step of the way and achieved for me what I knew I deserved and what was fair for both of us and our children.

Haseeb has been a pleasure to work with. He helped my Grandmother receive her U.S Citizenship after our family had been scammed by another Lawyer in the DFW area. After this great experience it was an easy decision to hire Haseeb to help with the immigration process to bring my wife to the United States from Canada. He made everything very easy for me and was always available when I had a question regarding my wife's case. The entire process went very smoothly without any issues and my wife was able to receive her Green Card. I would highly recommend hiring Haseeb for not only Immigration purposes but for any legal help you may need!

With my wife, we very recently received our green cards. And it's all thanks to Dobrina. As we were considering our options for staying in the country, we met with a dozen of immigration lawyers. Then, we were introduced to Dobrina. Our very first conversation was nothing less than a game changer. None of the other lawyers we met were so fast on understanding exactly our situation and to assess how to make the best of it. Plus, her fees were among the most reasonable we saw. Like for a lot of people, our quest to get a permanent resident status was epic. But having Dobrina on our side made it so much easier and smoother. We knew that we could always count on her, her never fading commitment, her knowledge and her experience to help us in all the ordeals we had to go through. We cannot express enough our gratitude to her. And of course, we highly recommend her, as the extremely reliable, competent, and overall outstanding, immigration lawyer that she is.

Dobrina was a life saver in a moment when my family was falling apart and things were a matter of staying in the country or not. We tried completing all the paperwork on our own but that was not successful. Dobrina was recommended by a relative in a similar situation that had their case closed and resolved due to this amazing young talent. I cannot express enough my gratitude and will recommend Mrs. Dobreva to everyone that is in need of immigration legal services.

When I first started my quest for permanent residence and a green card,I spoke to a lawyer personally in New Orleans and also spoke to two on the telephone.Then I discovered Dobrina on the internet.My spouse and I felt her prices were reasonable so we contacted her.
Dobrina had been through the whole process personally,she gave us clear instructions on the phone and computer and was always available at all times to help.
We thought it would take at least a year for me to obtain a green card with Dobrina's help it took 5 months.
She has been a total pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing immigration legal help.

Jonathan Earthman handled my case very well. He communicated constantly and made sure I understood every step of the process. My case was more complicated than most and Jonathan went out of his way, finding different alternatives to win my case. He was able to dismiss my removal proceedings and helped me get my residency and now my citizenship. I am very grateful for everything Jonathan did for me. He is very knowledgeable and answered every single question I had. His paralegal Erika was very pleasant to work with. Both Jonathan and Erika always checked on me to make sure I made every appointment and that I was receiving correspondence from USCIS. I would recommend them for any immigration needs.

I bought a car from a local dealership using dealer financing. After I left the lot with the car, I learned that the finance manager at the dealership had forged my signature on a document saying that I owed several thousand dollars more than I agreed to. The dealership was harassing me with phone calls. I met with Counselor Socks and explained my situation to him.
He picked up the phone, called the dealership and the problem was solved to my satisfaction. I was able to return the car and get my $2000 deposit back. I never could have done this by myself.

What an Immigration Lawyer Can Do for You
An immigration lawyer specializes in helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate the complex immigration process. These lawyers provide legal guidance on various immigration matters, such as obtaining visas, gaining permanent residency (green cards), applying for citizenship, and defending clients in deportation or removal proceedings. Immigration lawyers also assist with employment-based immigration, asylum applications, and resolving issues related to visas or immigration status.
Whether you're trying to immigrate to the U.S., facing deportation, or sponsoring an employee or family member for a visa, an immigration lawyer can help you understand your legal options and navigate the often complicated legal system.
When Should I Hire an Immigration Lawyer?
Hiring an immigration lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you are dealing with U.S. immigration laws, whether for personal or business reasons. Common reasons to hire an immigration lawyer include:
- Visa applications: If you need assistance applying for a visa, whether it's a work visa (H-1B), student visa (F-1), or tourist visa (B-1/B-2), a lawyer can help ensure the application is properly completed and submitted.
- Green card applications: If you're seeking permanent residency, an immigration lawyer can guide you through the process, whether through family sponsorship, employment, or the Diversity Visa (lottery) program.
- Deportation or removal defense: If you’re facing deportation or removal from the U.S., a lawyer can defend your case in immigration court and seek to prevent removal.
- Asylum applications: If you’re seeking asylum due to persecution or fear of persecution in your home country, a lawyer can help you prepare a strong case and file for asylum.
- Family reunification: If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent resident looking to bring family members to the U.S., a lawyer can assist with the family sponsorship process.
- Citizenship and naturalization: If you're ready to apply for U.S. citizenship, a lawyer can help you navigate the naturalization process and ensure you meet all the requirements.
- Business immigration: If you're an employer seeking to hire foreign workers, a lawyer can assist with employment-based visas, labor certification, and compliance with immigration regulations.
- Special immigration categories: Immigration lawyers also handle complex cases, such as visas for victims of human trafficking (T visa), crime victims (U visa), or those seeking Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
Hiring an immigration lawyer early in the process can help you avoid delays, errors, and possible denials due to incomplete or incorrect applications.
What Does an Immigration Lawyer Do?
An immigration lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients with their immigration needs, whether personal or business-related. Their tasks often include:
- Assisting with visa applications: Helping clients fill out and submit visa applications, ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate.
- Filing for green cards and permanent residency: Guiding clients through the process of applying for a green card, including family-based, employment-based, or other forms of residency.
- Defending against deportation or removal: Representing clients in immigration court who are facing deportation and working to prevent removal from the U.S.
- Preparing asylum cases: Assisting clients in applying for asylum based on fear of persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
- Handling citizenship applications: Helping lawful permanent residents apply for naturalization and ensuring they meet all the legal requirements for U.S. citizenship.
- Employment-based immigration: Assisting employers with the process of sponsoring foreign workers for temporary or permanent visas, including H-1B, L-1, and EB-1 through EB-5 visas.
- Representation in immigration interviews: Preparing clients for immigration interviews and attending interviews at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices.
- Appealing denied applications: If a visa, green card, or citizenship application is denied, a lawyer can file appeals or motions to reopen or reconsider the case.
How Are Immigration Lawyers Paid?
Immigration lawyers generally charge for their services based on the type of immigration case and the complexity of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many immigration lawyers charge a flat fee for specific services, such as preparing a visa application, green card petition, or citizenship application. Flat fees help clients know upfront what the legal costs will be for a particular service.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases, such as deportation defense or appeals, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and the complexity of the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing immigration matters, some clients may need to pay a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
- Pro bono or sliding scale: Some immigration lawyers or nonprofit organizations may offer free or low-cost services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in asylum or humanitarian cases.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the costs and payment arrangements.
How Much Does an Immigration Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an immigration lawyer varies based on the type of legal service required, the lawyer's experience, and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:
- Visa applications: For help with visa applications (e.g., H-1B, L-1, F-1), legal fees may range from $2,000 to $7,500, depending on the complexity and the type of visa.
- Green card applications: Fees for family-based or employment-based green card applications typically range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the case.
- Deportation defense: For defending clients in removal proceedings, costs can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and how long the case takes.
- Asylum cases: Asylum applications may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on whether the case is defensive (in removal proceedings) or affirmative (not in removal proceedings).
- Citizenship applications: Legal fees for filing a naturalization application usually range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s immigration history.
- Business immigration services: Fees for assisting businesses with employment-based visas (such as H-1B or EB-5 visas) often range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of costs and fee arrangements before proceeding with legal services.
Top Questions to Ask an Immigration Lawyer
Before hiring an immigration lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your case effectively. Important questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with immigration cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s family-based immigration, employment visas, or asylum. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including any challenges you might face. -
How long will the process take?
Immigration cases can take time, so ask how long it may take to process your application or resolve your legal issue. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly. -
What documents do I need to provide?
Ask the lawyer about the documentation required to support your case, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or employment contracts.
How to Check the Credibility of an Immigration Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable immigration lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their state bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific immigration law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in immigration law and have experience handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle immigration cases.
- Check for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) can indicate the lawyer’s expertise and commitment to immigration law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with an immigration lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Passport and immigration documents: Bring your passport, visa, and any documents related to your current immigration status.
- Family documents: If you're applying for a family-based visa or green card, bring marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of family relationships.
- Employment information: For employment-based visas, provide your employment contract, offer letter, or other documentation of your job.
- Criminal records (if applicable): If you have any criminal history, bring copies of court records and other relevant documents.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any prior immigration applications, visas, or issues with immigration authorities.
- List of questions: Prepare any questions you have about your immigration case, the process, costs, and the likelihood of success.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
