Immigration Q&A

Lawyers are held to the highest standard of professional service and are licensed to practice law by our state bar associations. Consultants and notarios who are not licensed lawyers are not permitted to complete immigration forms, cannot legally provide legal advice, and cannot legally represent you. Importantly, it is very difficult to hold these consultants accountable for mistakes made on your case. Sometimes these mistakes create problems that cost more to fix or cannot be fixed. They can even place you at risk of being deported from the U.S., depending on the situation.

However, lawful status is critical to a stable life in the U.S. Our lawyers understand the law, immigration legal processes, immigration agencies and how to help your receive the best results. Many times, individuals who proceed on their own experience additional stress and longer waits to a final decision. There is greater risk of making mistakes that can result in a denial or be difficult to fix. An initial investment in an experienced attorney to help you may save you time, energy, stress, and money in the long-term.

Clients are responsible for communicating truthfully and timely with their attorneys about contact information, questions, concerns, and changes in circumstances. You will have to provide information and evidence when requested to work as a team with your attorney.
