5 Important Questions to Ask Before Hiring an Immigration Attorney

by Jewellan Sing NY Attorney

Hiring an attorney is the most important step in the immigration process. They understand the procedure and requirements better. There are many corporate law firms that offer immigration services to businesses and eligible individual clients in the US. They evaluate an individual’s profile and help in exploring all available legal options that are available.


Understanding the US immigration laws can really be a headache for a person who has no relation to the legal field. It is too intricate and the constant changes make it vaguer. Whether a person wants to become a permanent lawful resident or seeking permission for temporary living and work, a lawyer can make the process easy and risk-free. For business owners who want to hire foreign employees or foreign businesses that want to settle a branch/office or want to start their business operations in the US, they require consulting to a business immigration attorney NY to get all necessary information.

Every year thousands of foreign-born people move to the United States for different purposes and desires. However, this is not an easy the affair as every year thousands of immigration applications are rejected on various grounds by the authorities.

Therefore retaining a legal professional by your side is always beneficial to avoid application mistakes and pitfalls. Asking the right questions before hiring an immigration law firm or individual attorney will help in knowing some valuable things.

1 - How Many Similar Cases They Have Handled?

Your case can be different from the cases a particular business immigration attorney has handled in the past. You may have a different situation and it varies person-to-person and business-to-business. So it’s better to ask whether they have handled similar circumstances in the past and if yes, then what was the approach they enforced?

2 - What Would Be The Mediums For Contact?

This question automatically crops up in mind whenever you need to be in contact with a service provider for long. How they will be contacting you and what mediums they are providing to you to get in contact instantly. Most of the immigration applications take weeks or even months to be approved so your attorney should give you a medium of contact where you can ask the status of your application.

3 - Do They Have Any References?

Asking for references is important to know about the clients with whom your prospective law firm has been worked previously. Your attorney is likely to have a list of happy clients whom he has helped and successfully concluded the case. You may also trust “Google Reviews.”

4 - Who Will Handle Your Case?

This question will probably help you in precluding fraud. It is better to ask who will be actually handling your case. Some attorneys accept your case and delegate the work to junior attorneys, paralegals, and undertrained assistants. So ensuring that a qualified and proficient attorney will be working for you should be the priority.

5 - How Much Is Their Service Cost?

Each attorney you call or mail must provide you a clear price quote with other terms and conditions. Later, you will be able to evaluate the quotes and breakdown your list.

If you are a large business, you can look for corporate law firms NYC instead of individual consultants and attorneys that are providing business immigration services.
