Immigration Lawyers

Before contacting an immigration lawyer

Tell the office what help you are seeking and which agency or court appears on your documents. A general immigration practice label does not establish experience with your particular process.

Prepare a useful first message

List previous applications, decisions and notices, with their dates. Ask which documents the professional needs and use the office’s secure channel for sensitive identifiers.

Questions to compare the proposed work

• Have you handled this type of application or proceeding, and who would work on it?
• Does the proposal include preparation, responses to requests, interviews or hearings?
• Which professional fees and government charges are separate, and what is outside the scope?

These are suggested discussion prompts, not a determination of your rights, deadlines or the right legal procedure. Ask the office to confirm what work it has accepted; submitting an inquiry alone does not confirm responsibility for a date on your paperwork.
