What Are the 7 Questions to Ask When Hiring an Immigration Lawyer? 

You are great, Jim. You are also selfless and do justice in your practice. In the nutshell, Jim is professional.

How many cases like mine have you handled? Right there is why most people throw there money on lawyers who are not qualified to hand a certain immigration case. I never thought about these questions before 🤔 thank you so much for your this video very eye opening.

Question #8 What is your price breakdown or itemized costs?

I remember when I went through the process in NYC my uncle recommended an immigration attorney because he had been at the same address and with same telephone number for the last 40 years. I guess, back when leases were long ... No brainer. Let’s use him I said.

I had to go and double check if my notifican bell is on for all uploads. God information Jim and Team

Jim you’re a genius

Very informative. Thank you 🙏

Depends. Once you're in Immigration the judge is everything. So, how many cases have you handled before judge x or y? would be good.

Thanks Jim for that video

Hi, your videos too much helpful and sounds good!

My friend is looking for an immigration lawyer and she says it’s like pulling teeth just to find one. U would think it would be easy in a place that gets tons of immigrants but no. She also said just to ask a question u have to pay for consultation which can cost around $300. Ridiculous.

If a person applied for a tourist or study visa to America and one of his brothers exceeded the period allowed for his stay in America, does he affect the application in acceptance or rejection because of his brother residing in America ?

Thank you for information.

I think it's all good advice but a little amused about the mention of wills and trusts (if a lawyer does that, and this and also immigration....) When I was hiring a lawyer for a semi-complex international trust, the advice always given was choose a lawyer who ONLY specializes in trusts, not one who does divorce, criminal law, injuries oh and also trusts (immigration wasn't mentioned) And I assume if I was looking for a divorce lawyer, I would be told to hire ones who only do that, and similarly if I were facing a serious criminal charge. So, the days of the generalist lawyer are gone, at least for big ticket cases.

I often see on US forms ; (Marital status=1. Single, Never Married" ) must both apply or one. Because If I have been widowed for 5yrs and had some dating after that, I am single or still widowed?

Thank you Jim

Well, those are great advices, BUT, I DOUBT it would work on practice. For instance, you may ask a lawyer "how many cases have you handled? how many cases have you lost?". They can just MAKE UP ANY NUMBER to look good; They can LIE to you; you can NOT ask them to PROVE IT, can you? And, if we CAN, I do NOT THINK any lawyer would be happy being questioned!? In general, Lawyers do NOT LIKE being questioned, they give you a look, like "I am the lawyer, NOT YOU, I am the boss, you don't question ME"! And even if they DO answer, they'll just tell you what you want to hear! But, anyways, great video, great advices, as always. I have a Citizenship case ongoing; live in Massachusetts, and been having a very hard time finding a Lawyer WORTH IT, that will fight for my case. I know you are in Illinois but, do you practice in Massachusetts also? Thank YOU!

I would like to ask about effcient ways to narrow a list of lawyers down. There are hundreds of immigration lawyers within a 2 hour driving distance from me and I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to narrow it to 3 or 4 choices to do a consultation with. I've tried using the AILA search page for Lawyers but something seems off about it. I see supposedly reputable firms on sites like US News listing best immigration lawyers, however I can't find them on the AILA search engine.

Very informative video ❤

Can you recommend a good lawyer in NYC to just status for withholding of deportation?!

Please can I seek for asylum at a transit country

I'm not sure I can get the answers for all those questions without a payment for appointment. Lots immigration lawyers even don't work with cases because they are having the money from appointments. Before get the answers I'm paying for appointment around $300. And after I found out that this lawyer isn't able to help. I'm trying to talk with another attorney, paying again for consultation, and ...zero help again. That's why I'm thinking that most of layers even don't want to work. Why need to work if you are having a good money just for bla, bla, bla. 8 hours is working day. 30 minutes is an appointment cost $300. For 8 hours is $4800 per ONE DAY.. SO, I even don't know where to find an honest and knowing immigration attorney

Alright Jim. Who would be the best in F1 reinstatementt case? Parents & siblings are US citizens. The attorney i had since 2013 messed up my case.

Hi sir, please I have a question and I hope to get an answer from you if this is possible. My wife is American and I am Moroccan and I live in Morocco and we got married here in Morocco. My wife sent a request for family reunification to the immigration office 12 months ago, but we did not receive any answer whether the application was accepted or rejected or not. We know how to contact the Immigration Office. I need any information. We do not know what to do. Your help will be a great thing for us. Thank you very much, sir.❤

have received my permanent green card through marriage. My husband is not willing to give information about his ex wife which is needed for naturalization application. The marriage is absolutely fine. He tries to take decisions for me. I don't allow this. I saw some videos that a woman can file for green card alone even if the husband doesn't give his documents. Please let me know if I can apply for naturalization if I don't have information about his ex wife.
