Choosing an Immigration Attorney
The choice of an immigration attorney can significantly impact the outcome of a client’s future. Attributes such as education, experience, dedication, and good standing with the State Bar Association are essential. Other contributing factors that affect a client’s success and are highly valued traits are honesty, trust, and the law professional’s overall integrity.
An immigration attorney’s role is unique, as they represent clients in various legal practice areas related to constitutional law, criminal law, civil rights law, family law, and business law. An immigration attorney must be sensitive to foreign nationals’ plight and how their immigration status impacts them in many unrelated ways. They must be prepared to function in the ever-changing political climate, which brings about frequent changes in procedures and law. Under United States federal law, a licensed attorney from any state can represent clients throughout the nation for immigration law matters.
Do I need an Attorney?
An immigration case can be filed, processed, and argued without legal counsel. However, having an immigration attorney can vastly improve the chances for success. Many aspects of a case are best resolved with legal representation. Examples are appeals, cancellation of removal, applications with a history of criminal convictions, the complicated investor and employment-based visas, and prior application denials. Other problematic issues best handled by an immigration attorney are those who violate the terms of their stay in the United States or applicants with a medical or mental illness diagnosis. An attorney’s representation is a valuable commodity for unaccompanied minor children, violence against women, and other humanitarian relief programs.
