David Olivas and Denise are an excellent team to have on your side. This legal team is both highly capable and highly patient. David's natural talent and passion for his craft resulted in the exact outcome he predicted; namely the outcome I needed - complete dismissal across 3 cases (in two counties). I'm fortunate to have happened upon his business, and it was money well spent. Thank you both. May the sun ever shine on your face, and the wind ever be at your back.

David and Denise are an exceptional team. They fight for justice, and they do not back down until they win your case. Communication is on par and they keep you informed of the processes. I'm so glad I was referred to this amazing Legal Team!

I’ve got into accident with hit and run driver. This attorney spend countless hours to track the driver even though the driver was from out of the state. I’m thankful to mr. Yu that he took my case when no other attorney wanted to take my case. I will always hire him again.

Working with Dipti's Law Office to help my wife get her Green Card has been impressive. The process is long and confusing, but with their guidance, it became manageable. Their flat fee system was a relief, with no unexpected costs. I highly recommend Dipti for Green Card assistance.

I think she is going through some personal issues and unfortunately, it also reflects in her work.
She is very rude and dismissive. On my every small request, she either gave me false confirmation or an impolite response!!
My experience was awful and intimidating; only hire her if you can take insults and personal attacks.

Please do not choose this lawyer. She is the most unprofessional, rude lawyer I've ever encountered in my life.
1.she is suppose to send me her cost breakup via email the day before our appointment. July 8th. She did not. I had to send a text msg to her 3 times. (She still didn't send the email)
2.due to COVID 19 she wants us to visit her home office. We scheduled an appointment at 12pm of July,9th. We arrived and no one is at home. We immediately received a phone call from her asking us to comeback the second day. She told us it is our problem that we didn't look at her text. (She never sent any text)
contact me for her rude voice recording, and copy of her text messages.

Josh was my attorney over ten years ago. My husband had a removal order and he was able to get his case reopened and get his status adjusted. It was a nearly impossible case to win. He has a genius mind and is the only attorney I would call in a serious immigration emergency. He's truly passionate about what he does and isn't one of those attorneys that is just in it for the money. He will honestly tell you what your chances are.

I had hired him when I was very close to remove from the states. However, he did represent my case closed my case front of the judge and won the case with USCIS.
I had a huge charge from ICE even I had a felony conviction on my record. Today I am GC holder just because of him.
Although I have to admit he is lazy buy he gets jobs get done.

I had no immigration status when I hired Attorney Turin. Although I consulted with other well-known attorneys, he was the only one who was able to explain how he could win my case and followed through with it! I have learned through my experience that Attorney Turin takes on cases that other attorneys turn down and actually wins them. Although the service at times can be mediocre, the end result is worth it. Attorney Turin’s experience and knowledge is priceless.

Really bad experience with this lawyer. His attention to detail by his employers is absolutely horrible. Not only did they messed up my wife’s application once but TWICE! My wife’s application had a middle initial that wasn’t even the right letter and when the lawyer offered to fix he said he was going to pay for the mistake. All the sudden now we are receiving a denial letter stating that they messed up the 2nd application again to correct my wife’s green card and that the credit card payment (the card he used to correct his error) was denied due to insufficient funds. We called him at his personal number (he gave it to us) and when he answered he said to quit calling him at his personal number and to call the office because he wasn’t going to answer my questiona And that he did not want to talk to her. Upon trying to hang up my wife told him how unprofessional he was and he threatened telling us “I’ll show you unprofessional”. So the story is now that my wife status is up in the air while he already received all of his money in his pocket. His employees take their time answering the phone, they just sit there in the front and gossip. The lawyer pretends to care about the Latino community but he’s just like any other lawyer who just wants money. I don’t know how this lawyer could do business like this pretending to care about the Hispanic community.
(Español) Muy mala experiencia con este abogado. Su atención al detalle por parte de sus empleadores es absolutamente horrible. ¡No solo se equivocaron en la solicitud de mi esposa una vez sino DOS VECES! La solicitud de mi esposa tenía una inicial del segundo nombre que ni siquiera era la letra correcta y cuando el abogado se ofreció a arreglarlo, dijo que iba a pagar el error. De repente, estamos recibiendo una carta de rechazo que indica que volvieron a equivocarse en la segunda solicitud para corregir la green card de mi esposa y que el pago de la tarjeta de crédito (la tarjeta que utilizó para corregir su error) fue denegada debido a fondos insuficientes. Lo llamamos a su número personal (nos lo dio) y cuando respondió, dijo que dejara de llamarlo a su número personal y que llamara a la oficina porque no iba a responder mi pregunta y que no quería hacer su trabajo o hablar con ella. Al tratar de colgar, mi esposa le dijo lo poco profesional que era y amenazó con decirnos "Te mostraré poco profesional". Entonces, la historia ahora es que el estado de mi esposa está en el aire mientras él ya recibió todo su dinero en su bolsillo. Sus empleados se toman su tiempo para contestar el teléfono, simplemente se sientan allí al frente y chismean. El abogado pretende preocuparse por la comunidad latina pero es como cualquier otro abogado que solo quiere dinero. No se como esté abogado puede hacer negocio así burlándose de la comunidad hispana.

You call and the receptionist answers and the same answer all the time, "the person that could answer your question is not in the office today, I will leave message for them to call you". Don't seat down and wait, cause the call will never arrive. You call the next day, same answer next week, same answer. No one can ever get you answers. But since fees are already paid, what are you supposed to do, but wait and pray that one day, they will actually call you back.

Mr lkenna Emeruem is a very unprofessional being, he never returns his call nor call back neither does he acknowledge his messages. The way he treat his clients especially his follow nigerian are very disrespecting and unprofessional. I paid this man to be my attorney and he never showed up on the day of my case what kind of an attorney is that, like that is not enough when I called him, he began cursing out on the phone and even dropped the call on me. This is so unprofessional.

Mr. Chu was a savior. He appealed my deportation judgement with the BIA and assisted me in filing an ineffective counsel plea for my previous attorney and having the case remanded. If it wasn’t for Mr. Chu’s diligent hard work and faith in me I would not be in the US anymore. After going to court with me the immigration judge decided to terminate my case and throw it out lacking merit after a 6 year pursuit. Don’t waste your time and money, hire Mr. Chu, he is worth every dollar.

First time meeting Mr. Chu I did not get a good impression of him. I and a family member arrived at his office for consultation. Although, we arrived on time for our appointment we still had to wait for awhile until his meeting with a previous client is finished, which is understandable since important meetings should not be rushed. However, our turn had eventually been procceeded to meet him; a friendly extension of his handshake was not offered, no introduction from his part, a high-mighty attitude or behavior was displayed along with his open-collar loose dark shirt. Perharps, that was his norm of dressing in his office or getting ready for drinks at a high-class bar later, which it was perfectly fine, he deserves to relax with his hard working ethics here and there. It seemed like he already became a judgemental upon us stepping into his office based on his leaned back chair sitting behavior. We presented him a small case (not serious) and wanted to hear from a professional legal aspect. An overcharging fee of 20-25 minutes of consultation, he complied to us of contacting him if we had further legal questions. Later on that day, we called him for a question and sounded like we interrupted him. He claimed he would call us back, but never did. I have met attorneys of similar fields department with high credentials in the past, but their professionalism and positive attitude well exceeded William Chu's.

Court appointed. I've read nothing but negative reviews. My son is a first time offender in a federal case that he is not proud of, but ..life happens. Vincent is not good at returning calls/ text/ giving updates. I would have thought he has some sense in speaking to a woman with some kind of etiquette, but that's not the case. Being a single mother with her young adult child that has never been in trouble is beyond any words. I gave up on trying to speak with him (maybe I'm just being a mom and want to know every step. But can you bla.e me?) and pray that he will do what he.. as an attorney signed up to do which is to do all he possibly can to fight for the best deal and the best less time possible. Like I said, maybe I'm just too much in the mix and I whelming him as well with all my questions. So, I leave it in God's hands and pray that Vincent will come through. I will continue to update regarding his service.

He is very unorganized, missed filing dates which are very important to any case and does not return calls or provide any sort of communication. We had to fire him and hire another attorney on a case that should have been a slam dunk. I hope this review benefits someone else from wasting money.

I admit I screwed up and found myself facing multiple criminal charges. The first attorney I talked to wanted 10 grand and I balked on that and eneded up with Vincent at a liitle more than a 1/3 that price.
What a huge mistake.
I thought things were ok until the end and then it was obvious Vincent felt as if he had done enough for the price paid and he simplt stopped responding to my texts and emails.
Not only that but if I didn't know any better I would assume this was his first criminal case.
He didn't tell many pertinent things and everything he did tell me was incorrect.
Two of those things did end up in my favor, I got 3 years probation instead of the 5 he told me I would probably get and the 200 hours of community service turned out to be 180.
Everything else was a negative for me.
The suspension of my license, the inability to reclaim my property from the police and time in jail and were just a few of the items I was mislead on.
At the end he just stopped responding to me and asked that I talk to his paralegal Irene.
She was one of the rudest most condesending human beings I have ever dealt with.
IMO Vincent should settle on one aspect of law and do it well, instead he spreads himself thin and does a poor job.
I don't think Vincent is a bad person, just a bad lawyer.

Run, run, and keep running. This lawyer is a nightmare. I used him for my divorce and he made things up to get money from me. He then asked me to lie in court to get double that money from my ex. His Hispanic secretary harassed me to the point of depression. He was rude and awful in court whenever he was on time. I ended up firing him and settling with my ex's attorney. Worst attorney ever!!!! Save your money and your dignity. Horrible!!!!!

He has no empathy even just at a human level. My friend had warned me but I had started using him already before he told me. My case was stagnant and I do not think he had it filed maybe because he either chose not to or was rejected due to his suspension. By this time I was already down over $1000 on attorney fees alone. He also makes up additional fees that you may not suspect because you may not understand the law, this, I learnt from a different attorney. A year later, he kept giving excuses and does not bother giving an update even just by email and waits for you to call only to get another excuse because he is not organized. He blamed his secretary on one occasion something no one would want to hear.
He pulls in new clients with free consultation. I took off before it was too late. My friend had a traffic case that he learnt had not been filed with the courts from another lawyer as well.

This office filed a claim with the insurance without proper documentations, when I asked to get information about what they sent to the insurance and the status of the case, they refused, stating that they will review my file and get back to me. I spoke with Fidelis, who told me to come to his office, pick up my file and get out of his office , he also said other things I rather not mention in this review, so uncalled for...
Come to find out, he is was actually disciplined in 2016 by the board.
Very unprofessional, untruthful and very rude.
Run away from this firm.

I have hired Luis and Rob Campos as a recommendation from a bondsman over the phone (I know that probably wasn't a good idea but I was desperate). I thought luis was going to be our main lawyer but apparently he is only an assistant. I've met Luis less than 10X but I never heard from or even seen how Rob looks like. Their presentation was pretty good and I was convinced they were actually good lawyers. I dropped $6,300 to bail an inmate just for him to get a warrant out for his arrest not even 24 hours after he got released. Which makes no sense b/c why would I be able to bail him out if they were going to get a warrant out for his arrest just a few hours later??? Anyways. He charged us $12,000 to handle our case, I paid $6000 up front and financing the rest each month. I hired them back in APRIL '17 and have done absolutely nothing in this. They haven't even filed a notice of motion on the case. They don't answer their phones when you try to contact them and rarely replies to text. Little nervous I'm getting scammed but we'll see how this goes.

He was recommended by a friend who used him to get her green card, we made our first appt with his office and went a few days later on the appt date. we started by meeting another attorney not fernando which we were told he was out of the office for a few days. this lawyer of his told my wife she had 2 options which were the DACA or getting her green card but would have to leave the country for a interview in juarez which scared the hell out of my wife. we gave the lawyer some info on her past and told him when she was younger her father started the process but he told us since she had gotten married with a illegal that it voided that process. well we started the DACA process since it was something we could barely afford at the time since the greencard option was about 3000.00 just for the attorney fees and still had the immigrartion fees also. well we agreed on the amount for the daca process and setup another appt to bring all the required paperwork so the lawyer could put it together in a packet with paperwork the lawyer will fill out. Funny thing is they got the packet ready but we had to mail it, i would thought they would take care of it but we went ahead and mailed it. months later we recieved a letter from immigration and they requested more information from my wife. a few days later we recieved a copy of the same letter from the lawyers office which i would have thought they would contact us to come in to discuss what is the next step but they didnt. we sent more info to immigration and again a few months later again immigration sent a another request for more detail info and again the lawyers office sent copies to us of the same letter. so we tried to contact the lawyer and explained to the lady who anwsered the phone the situation but she we would have to wait for a appt even thoe we explained the importance of our situation but to her we were just another number to her. so finally we recieved a final notice from immigration telling my wife she was denied for not enough proof of her been in the usa long enough and GED proof. i finally emailed the lawyers office and a miracle happened the acutal lawyer fernando replied stating he had been tryin to contact my wife for the longest which was false we even checked our cell phone records and voicemails and never recieved a call from him or his office just letters from immigration. So we felt that all they did was fill out paper work for us and left us to fend for ourselves against immigration.we tried to ask for a partial refund because i know they did a small amount of work but not enough for the fee they charged us. but they just same NO REFUNDS!!! so if you want a lawyer who never calls or never meets with his clients( he has his assistants do that) then hes the guy for you!!!

They practically don't care. The office staff is rude and getting a return call from them is impossible. The assistant, Rita, is one of the most unprofessional people you will ever speak to. She is beyond rude and talks down on clients over the phone. If you have a question about your case, she never has answers, or she'll "call you back". The attorneys don't seem professional either, and you'd be lucky if you speak with them once or twice while they handle your case. It's been more than a year since they started our case and it seems like all the paperwork wasn't requested by them, therefore it wasn't sent properly. Now they want us to come in again and probably give them more money for a case that isn't even clear to us. You come to these people for guidance and representation, instead they treat you like if they are donating their services and doing you a favor, when they are paid to do their job. I'm sorry I even gave their address to a friend so she can seek their services. I hope she has a better experience than mine so far.

This attorney charged me a lot of $$money$$ for my DACA and did not even use spell checker on my case. He entered wrong information and from the looks of it never reviewed his work. I'm very fortunate my case was even approved. I did not return to renew my case with him because his time allotted to me was very limited the first time. When he told me what he was going to charge me to renew I booked!

We decided to hire her to handle my immigration case and it was the worst decision ever made. This lawyer is so unprofessional and extremely rude. She never answers the phone. Only on rare occasions she called me back, but with very unprofessional manners. I once simply ask her for a receipt of my payment for her service and she told me I didn't pay her in cash so she wouldn't have a receipt which was a big lie. I paid her cash and even offer some extra money right in her office just to rush the process and she denied it. And when USCIS sent notices about my case to her, she didn't even bother to notify or send the notices to me whatsoever. Only until I found out by checking my case status online, she then email me the notices with an unpleasant tone which caused me to respond to UCIS after the deadline. Which cause a delay for my case.
This lawyer is out of hand. All she wants is your money without providing the services you're paying for. She will never get anything done. So please do not consider hiring her because you will never get anything done.

PA stated the case was too big for her to handle. Stated insurance company is a big company and the offer is too small. Questioned PA if she would like to drop the case. If we could have the case withdrawn from her. PA stated if we want to withdraw case, no problem. She will do so and hand over files. PA or attorney did not give us notice that she will be claiming a charging lien out of any settlement proceeds we may recover. No documents were signed by us in agreement to withdrawal of case. PA without our consent or documented agreement, notified Insurance company that they no longer represent us We received a call from insurance company, advising us that they have received a letter from attorney stating they no longer represent us. Attorney did not notify or inform us that they will contact the insurance company before or after sending a withdrawal letter. We had meeting at a local public location, PA handed over copy of file and stated she has withdrawn from case. Attorney never allowed us to meet her at her office. Even when we insisted to meet at office. PA still did not inform us that a lien is on the case until we asked and read documents handed over recently. No form of notification was done. No email, no letter, no call, nothing to let us know a lien will be placed on the case. What influenced us to suggest attorney to let go of case is due to the statement PA made, that the case is too hard for her, which drew a concern for us. Also, the check issued from the first case was disburse unethically. The check was written improperly which raised an alert. It took time to have the check reissued and PA became irate, disrespectful, and blamed everything on attorney. In During this time, attorney was out of town as told by the PA. PA stated she couldn't do nothing about the check till the attorney returns and hopefully she does. PA never notified us of the arrival of the attorney as she sated she would.
After discussed with PA recently at the same location, to go ahead with case, she stated she does not want to handle our case anymore and it is up the the attorney to make decision on what to do. PA called attorney over the phone. Attorney advised she will not discuss anything if she is on speaker phone. That we should all sit in the office to discuss or she will discuss with PA at a later time and get back with us later in the day. Attorney stated at the moment she cannot make any decisions now that is is currently handling a case and cannot think straight. Attorney stated she will contact us and make an appointment to meet and discuss with us to go over case. Later in the day till the end of day, attorney never reached out to us, PA never reached out to us. We reached out to attorney recently via text, and her reply was, "after discussing with her PA and what her PA had to say, she thinks its best that we find another attorney for the second case. We then asked, "does this mean you will release the lien from the case"? Attorney responded stated, "no, because you fired us a and called my PA a liar". Please I advise do not hire this lawyer for any services. She has a PA that pretend to be the lawyer. She deliberately wrote my check with scratches so I won't cash it. Then took long to reissue my check. Her PA even hung on me, spoke badly to me and attorney does not want to remove lien on my second case she dropped. They are disrespectful, greedy and do not keep to their words and what they initially say they will do.

Tôi mướn luật sư Hạnh và rất hối hận về điều này. Luật sư không những không chân thành giúp đỡ, mà cách nói chuyện với khách hàng vô cùng không chuyên nghiệp. Tôi trả tiền nhưng case của tôi vượt thời hạn, trong khi đó tôi không liên lạc được luật sư. Luật sư Hạnh không cho tối biết tin tức về trường hợp của tôi, sau nhiều lần điện thoại được thì trở nên gắt gỏng. Những người tôi quen có mướn văn phòng này đều phàn nàn hệt như tôi và tìm người khác có khả năng hơn. Xin mọi người đừng tìm luật sư này vì cô ấy là người Việt. Người Việt không giúp nhau thì thôi,đằng này lại còn làm cho nhau thiêt thòi. Trường hợp của tôi suýt bị hủy vì tin lầm văn phòng này. Thành thật khuyên mọi người đừng tốn tiền và tốn thời gian vào nơi đây. Với tư cách là luật sư,là người hiểu biết và lấy tiền khách hàng, nhưng lại không làm được những gì hứa hẹn và còn lên tiếng với khách hàng. Tôi ở Mỹ lâu rồi mà lần đầu mới thấy một người làm trong môi trường chuyên nghiệp ứng xử như thế. Tôi rất thất vọng và bức xúc. Tôi viết những dòng này để bạn xem xét và tìm hiểu trước khi tốn tiền và thời gian vào nơi đây. Chúc may mắn.

This woman never showed up to court. Did a horrible job communicating. Always left us out of the loop in our own case. All she was great at was asking for money. Paid over $3,000 for her to make us miss court dates, plea deals, find a solution to our case, or even show up to COURT. Never hire her. She’s horrible, she shouldn’t even be a lawyer.

I hired this attorney to process an adoption in the year of 2006. I waited in the process since then to find out from another attorney on 9/7/12 that case was dismissed since May. 2008. This is a disgraced. I would call the office every day to be told the case is ready to go. May God bless this man for the wrongs he's done.

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.

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.

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.
