How the client should contact the firm for details about consultation (fees, schedule, etc.)

Consultation-what does it mean?

A consultation is a meeting between an attorney(s) and potential client(s) for the purpose of examining their situation, and discussing what the best possible course/option to take is. Consultations are completely confidential, and the attorney cannot disclosure any information given. Along with confidentiality, there is no obligation for the potential client to hire the firm after the consultation.

Why a consultation is important?

  • It is absolutely necessary for anyone with an immigration issue in the U.S. to discuss what possible directions they can take.
  • It establishes position of potential client, different options, and examines each individual case.
  • Allows attorney to gain knowledge/facts to suggest best course of action to take.
  • Allows for any questions the potential client might have to be answered by attorney
  • Can be a place to establish a client/attorney trust relationship
