WHY HIRE AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER?
Is a Lawyer Really Necessary?
Thank you for visiting our website. You are here because you are considering hiring an immigration lawyer to help with an issue you, a family member or a friend is having and you are wondering why you should hire an immigration lawyer to help with your situation. Is it really necessary? Is it worth it? The answer to both questions is YES.
At The Law Offices of Lloyd E. Bennett, Esq., P.C. we concentrate in immigration and naturalization Law. Our firm has been licensed to practice Law by the State of New Jersey and the U.S. Federal Courts since 1987. We are trained to recognize and solve complicated immigration issues in light of the constantly changing immigration laws as noted in our blog posts.
When hiring a firm to help with an immigration issue price should be the determining factor. You should verify that the firm is actually a law firm licensed and practicing law in the U.S. Law firms are held to a ethical standard and are governed by their State Bar Associations. There are many non-law firm immigration internet providers who help complete forms and promises a lawyers review prior to mailing the application for a very low fee. What you need to understand is that USCIS requires a lawyer or an accredited representative to sign his/her name on the forms telling USCIS that they helped you. These providers are required to have a lawyer sign the form. The problem is that you may never speak to the lawyer and the review is done at the conclusion of the online application process and not before.
At our firm our lawyers and our trained paralegals are the ones who initially review your immigration history, make suggestions, gather the required documents, assist in the form completion and explain the interview process. We will never simply allow you to complete forms without a prior case review. We pledge to be with you the entire way as your success is our success. We are always available to explain the process and answer your questions.
