Over the years, we have had clients who come in worried about everything. They bring
in too many documents and overwhelm the attorneys with boxes and boxes of records.
We have also had the opposite: clients who come in with nothing but what’s in their
wallets.  Sometimes they don’t bring documents because they don’t have them, and
sometimes they were just unprepared.

The attorney will be able to review your case on the spot, instead of having to 
contact you later to answer the questions specific to your situation. Especially
in immigration cases, every client has their own circumstances which need to be 
taken into account before an attorney can give advice.

To get the best out of your initial consultation with your attorney, follow our 
handy checklist and come prepared!
