Immigration Attorney: Paid Consultation vs Free Consultation? Invest in Yourself

by | Jun 15, 2021

Immigration law is vast, complex, and constantly changing. It is critical for immigrants and their family members to choose the right immigration attorney to handle your case. Lawyers not only should have a basic understanding of the immigration law and key related issues, but we also must be informed and up to date with the latest changes. It is also important that the attorney understands how immigration law intertwines with other areas of the law, to provide the legal services clients need and deserve. When you pay for a consultation with an immigration attorney, you pay for experienceknowledge, understanding, strategy, and direct support from the attorney.

“Free consultations” may be tempting but the less you pay for something, the lower quality it will inevitably be, especially when there are pricier options. You cannot expect quality and thoroughness out of a free consultation. When you or your loved ones are going through a difficult situation, you want the best possible care.

What questions should I ask an immigration lawyer?

Choosing the right immigration attorney to handle your case is essential and will give you peace of mind. Before the meeting, take the time to read attorney’s reviewsmembership in professional associations, especially the State Bar license. At the initial meeting, you should be prepared to ask the attorney questions that are important to you and are related to the attorney’s experience handling cases like yours, how many years the attorney has been in practice, if the attorney belongs to professional organizations related to immigration (American Immigration Lawyers Association), recognitions and awards, if his or her practice focuses on immigration.
