Millions of immigrants wish to stay in the United States…only a small percentage will have their wishes granted. The difference between staying and going doesn’t always depend on the facts of your case. Knowing how to turn the legal system in your favor makes the difference. And the key to that is finding an immigration attorney who knows how to do it

How do YOU find that attorney? Answer these top 5 questions…

1. Does the attorney specialize in Immigration Law?

Just because the firm is large doesn’t mean that your attorney’s focus will be on you and your specific case. Any licensed attorney can represent you in your immigration case. But you wouldn’t go to an prominent cardiologist for brain surgery. And like a doctor who specializes in one type of medicine, you want an attorney who specializes in Immigration Law exclusively. The best choice is someone who can guide you through the complications and frequent changes that happen with Immigration Law.

2. Will I work with an actual attorney?

You’ve done your research and have found a firm that specializes in Immigration Law. But, when you’re dealing with a larger firm, you’re dealing with place with large overhead. This could mean that your case may be handled almost exclusively by paralegals, not the attorney you first met and chose. I believe in getting what you pay for…if you pay for an attorney, don’t you deserve to be served by one? So, at that first consultation, ask…Who is the person I need to speak with when I have questions about my case and its progress? And make your choice based on the answer you receive.

3. Does this practice have experience with my kind of case?

Even within immigration law, there are many specialties…

• Spousal and dependent visas for the families of employees
• Family petitions, Green Cards and citizenship papers
• Deportation and Asylum cases
• EB5 Investor visas

 Each case poses different types of issues and your attorney will need to handle them differently. Make sure that the attorney you hire has experience handling you type of case.

4. How much personal attention will my case get?

Some immigration matters can be relatively straightforward, however, many are not. Immigration law one of the most complicated areas of law…especially since it is constantly changing and needs a high level of attention to detail. You want an attorney that really knows your case…inside and out. An attorney that can come up with creative solutions if things don’t go as smoothly as expected.

5. Can you provide me with references of past clients who I can call for more information?

You may have heard of the attorney through a trusted friend or colleague…you may even have gone searching on the internet. Know this…any reputable Immigration attorney should have references. A solid reference will give you a good idea if this attorney is trustworthy, dependable and knowledgeable enough to handle your case.
