Our office will provide an initial consultation free of charge
to discuss the particular circumstances of your case and determine
what options may be available to you.
Please call or email us to request an appointment. If you email
make sure you let us know what the best times of the day are
for
you to come into the office. Click here
for our contact information.
- Make a written list of questions that you have and state
clearly what you would like to accomplish from our meeting.
- Gather all documentation relevant to your case, including
all immigration related documents, photocopy them if possible,
and bring them to our meeting (see list of documents under the
type of case you are enquiring about).
- Disclose ALL information you have and know
about your case. Do not be afraid or feel embarrassed about
anything. This is key for us to establish the best strategy
to approach your case, and to be able to give you a realistic
estimate in terms of the duration, cost and possible end results
of the case. Any information not disclosed at the beginning
of the case can have a negative effect on it, as our strategy
would be based on erroneous or incomplete information.
- Let the attorney know if you don’t understand any terms
or points in your discussion. Don’t be afraid to ask
questions.
- Make sure that before you leave our meeting, you have an understanding
of the following:
- What are the steps involved in your case
- What is the estimated duration and costs involved in your
case
- What are the potential difficulties and complications with
your case
- What can you do to help speed things up and reduce the costs
of your case
- How will the communication be conducted throughout the
duration of your case—Our
communication policy.
- Make sure you update us on any changes in your contact or
employment information.
- Keep your own file with all the documentation we send you
throughout the duration of your case.
- Communicate with us if you have any questions at any point
during the process. Do not elicit legal information form others
even though they may be going through a similar process to
yours. Every case is in essence different, and even if they
weren’t,
there are other factors that affect it such as the time in
which the case started, the evidence, and the processes and
people who are working on your case
on the other end (i.e. BCIS officers, BCIS processing centers,
District Attorneys, etc. ) Therefore, results on cases cannot
be generalized by type of case.
