Does the thought of going through the immigration process frighten you-frighten you with thoughts of lost time and the endless filling out of applications and legal paperwork? Did you know that there are professionals who can help you navigate this difficult and complex process? An immigration solicitor can help take the worry out of filing for legal immigration by guiding you through the process and handling the legal end of things. In this article we will show you some tips on finding just the right immigration solicitor for you.
Finding an immigration solicitor is easy, but finding the -right- immigration solicitor is a little bit more difficult, with many factors to consider. One factor to consider is the reputation of the solicitor, not as they advertise, but through others are saying. Like any profession, the best people are often talked about most, so ask around to your family and friends and see if they might have someone they recommend. This is usually the best way to find someone who will have your best interests at heart.
If you don’t know anyone who has gone through the immigration process and asking around has produced little or no results, you may want to check online. The Internet is teeming with listings for immigration solicitors-some good and some bad-and it is here you can browse through these listings and narrow down your choices. Most solicitors will have websites on which they list their fee schedule and a summary of the services they perform.
Reputation is important, but so is price. Sadly, many people seeking legal immigration are strapped for cash as it is, and will choose a solicitor who is less qualified simply because his/her rates are cheaper. While there are solicitors who charge less than their more expensive counterparts, the service they provide may differ greatly, so be very careful before signing on the dotted line. You may also want to ask how their fees will be collected, as some solicitors will charge you and bill you an hourly rate, while others charge a flat fee. This can make a big difference is your case is delayed for any reason.
Once you’ve obtained some pricing information, peruses their website and asked around, the next step is to meet with a couple of the solicitors you selected. This will help you immensely in your decision making process. There will undoubtedly be those immigration solicitors who put you off and others you feel more comfortable with, but the trick is to never hire an immigration solicitor without first meeting them.
