Choosing the right immigration attorney can make a major difference in the outcome of your case. Whether you’re applying for a green card, facing removal proceedings, or sponsoring a family member, you need an experienced lawyer who understands the complexities of U.S. immigration law.
At Roberson Law, LLC, we encourage all clients to come prepared for their consultation. Asking the right questions helps you understand your legal options and builds a strong foundation of trust and communication.
Here are the top 10 questions you should ask any immigration attorney before your first consultation:
1. How much experience do you have with cases like mine?
Every immigration case is unique. Ask how many similar cases the attorney has handled and what outcomes they’ve achieved. You want someone who knows the ins and outs of your specific immigration pathway.
At Roberson Law, LLC we offer expert, tailored solutions for all your family’s immigration needs, guiding you through the immigration process with professionalism and care. Contact us Today for a consultation.
2. Are you licensed and in good standing with the state bar?
Only work with licensed immigration attorneys in good standing. Don’t confuse immigration consultants or “notarios” with lawyers—they’re not authorized to give legal advice.
3. What are my chances of success?
A trustworthy attorney will give you an honest, realistic assessment of your case. Beware of anyone who guarantees approval—no one can promise a specific outcome with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or an immigration judge.
4. What documents do I need to bring or prepare?
Bring essential documents like passports, visas, prior immigration filings, notices from USCIS, or court paperwork. An experienced immigration lawyer will tell you exactly what they need to start reviewing your case.
5. What are the legal fees and payment options?
Ask for a clear breakdown of the costs involved. At Roberson Law, LLC, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment plans to help make quality legal representation more accessible.
6. What is your approach to communication and updates?
You deserve to know what’s happening with your case. Ask how often you’ll receive updates, how to contact your attorney, and whether you’ll work with the attorney directly or through a paralegal.
7. What are the potential risks or obstacles in my case?
An experienced attorney will not only highlight your strengths but also explain any risks you face. Understanding the challenges upfront helps you prepare more effectively.
8. How long will the process take?
Timelines vary by case type, USCIS backlogs, and location. While no attorney can control government processing times, we can give you a realistic estimate based on experience and current trends.
9. Will you represent me in court or at my interview?
Not all attorneys handle courtroom or USCIS interview representation. Be sure the lawyer you hire will stand by your side through every phase of your case.
10. What sets your firm apart from others?
This question gives you a feel for the attorney’s values, experience, and commitment. At Roberson Law, LLC, we pride ourselves on personalized attention, deep immigration law knowledge, and a strong record of client success across Kansas and the Midwest.
