How to choose an immigration lawyer
- Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
- Ask how many immigration law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
- Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
- Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
- Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
- Check the lawyer is in good standing with a state bar or law society; immigration lawyers can be licensed in any state.
- Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

- Which government fees are not included in your fee?

By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.

No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your province (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some province). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
