How To Choose A Hemet Immigration Attorney For Deportation Defense
Choosing an attorney, like choosing a doctor, is not simple. This is especially true for immigration law.
As a client, you're bombarded with choices. Hugh ads in telephone books. Large signs with ads on the roads. Slick television commercials.
Still, no one needs to remind you that each lawyer, like each doctor or dentist, is different.
It's not just their experience - although that is important.
It's not just the training and education - although that, too, is important.
How can an immigrant decide which lawyer to trust?
The reality is this: there are no perfect formulas. Here are three insights that should help you choose the best immigration lawyer for you and your family.
EVERY IMMIGRATION CASE IS DIFFERENT
When it comes to experience, it is not simply a matter of how long an attorney has practiced. Since each lawyer handles different types of cases, it is crucial the attorney you select has handled cases similar to yours.
For instance, in immigration law, an attorney may have spent most of his or her time working on employment-based petitions. Their experience with family immigration matters may be slim. Maybe they have not helped clients at an immigration court trial.
Regulations and laws can transform nearly overnight. If you live in Riverside County, a new case in Hemet or Corona can have a dramatic effect on your case. It is crucial your lawyer is one who maintains close tabs on the changes in immigration law.
EVERY IMMIGRATION CLIENT IS SPECIAL
Even if an attorney has handled cases that are generally similar to yours, your case may present new twists.
No two clients have the same exact history. Easy or complicated, every immigrant's matter should be assessed with a fresh outlook. There are distinctions between your case and the cases of other immigrants - and these differences may be critical to your success.
All immigration cases are about real individuals. Not only about strict laws and unyielding facts. Whatever you're seeking, to become a permanent resident, trying to gain U.S. citizenship, or fighting for asylum protections, your case is unique.
Your immigration attorney's role is to tell your story to the best of his or her ability, so that the government or court grants you the privilege of living in the United States.
EVERY IMMIGRATION MATTER IS UNIQUE
Let's be clear. No immigration lawyer can guarantee the outcome of your case.
Your lawyer can - and should - do his or her best on your behalf. There are several variables beyond control. Your lawyer's duty is to always do his or her best for you and your family members. To fight with persistence and compassion.
Some lawyers have trouble being forthright about your chances for success. They attempt to persuade you by asserting a nearly flawless success rate. This may be true . . . but there are exceptions. Your case could be one of the exceptions.
It is more beneficial for your immigration lawyer to be open regarding your chances for success than to turn a deaf ear to possible pitfalls.
To be victorious, your immigration attorney will need to focus on small details. A tiny oversight can ruin your chances of winning. Your immigration attorney must always remember victory is never guaranteed.
CONCLUSION
Your lawyer needs to be your champion.
You win because your immigration attorney made the extra telephone call. You win because your lawyer anticipated the unexpected issue. You win because your attorney took the time to patiently interview important witnesses.
You win because of your immigration lawyer's commitment.
