Tips for Choosing The Right Immigration Lawyer
Choosing an immigration attorney is not easy. For most immigrants in the US,
their immigration status is more important than any other status, including the
marital one. People search carefully for the right immigration specialist to ensure
the immigration process is taken care of by a professional. There are some many
factors to consider while choosing an attorney: experience, language, price,
location, communication, responsiveness, accessibility and many others. For
example, some immigrants choose immigration attorneys only in his or her
country’s community, others prefer to stay away from their compatriots as far as
possible. Regardless of what category you are in, below are discussed the main
points to consider while choosing the best immigration attorney in the US.
Most articles available online first mention factors like membership in AILA
(American Immigration Lawyers Association). While it is important, most decent
attorneys are already the members of AILA and even if they are not, it does not
mean they cannot do a great job for their clients. Something else to consider is
that most inexperienced lawyers jump on AILA right away for the sole reason of

accessing the research tools. They merely do it because they do not have relevant
experience and rely on the message board and other information provided by
AILA.
Based on the feedback that our company has analyzed, the most important factor
while looking for an immigration lawyer is feeling comfortable working with a
particular immigration attorney assigned to your case. Both corporate and family
immigration include a great deal of confidential information that may be hard to
share with a person you just met. An attorney should be trustworthy and
friendly. A client should not be afraid of contacting his attorney with a related to
his case question.
Second is experience. The right immigration lawyer must have experience
handling cases like yours. It does not matter how friend an attorney is, if he
cannot answer your questions, it is probably a bad sign. However, most
immigration lawyers collaborate and work as law firms. A junior immigration
lawyer should be able to get proper guidance regarding casework from a senior
attorney or partner. Also, in the immigration law field, experienced immigration
paralegals perform a great deal of legal work and attorneys simply review it. That
is why we put feeling comfortable and secure as number one priority while hiring
a counsel, although experience is very important.
Third, is responsiveness. Even if you hired the most experienced and nice lawyer
out there, if it takes him a week to respond to your email or return a call, it
probably will take a long time to file your case. For the reasons stated above
(paralegals and distribution of casework in established law firms), the best
immigration attorneys should be able to answer the phone and spend some time
drafting emails to the retained clients when they are asked to.
