What to Look For

When evaluating an immigration attorney, consider their experience with your specific type of case, their familiarity with the immigration court or USCIS office handling your matter, client reviews, fee structure (flat fee vs. hourly), and whether they are in good standing with their state bar. Verify any attorney’s credentials through their state bar website.
