Free Consultations

Your Case Deserves a Team 100% Dedicated to Immigration Law

Can I get a free consultation?

Free consultations are for individuals who are interested in hiring an attorney to handle their immigration case, and want to learn more about an attorney, the strategy that attorney might take with their case, and what the fees are. Some attorneys charge for this time – we don’t.

During a free consultation with an immigration attorney, you can expect the following:

We will ask you questions to get to know your situation in order for us to determine your eligibility for an immigration benefit
We will describe what you can expect from us and our firm
We will cover the approach we would take to your case
We will quote you a legal fee, and inform you of government fees

Free consultations are sometimes confused with paid consultations. Free consultations are for when you are interviewing immigration attorneys to hire for your case, and you want us to tell you how we would handle your case and what the fees would be. Paid consultations are for the following situations:

You are looking for legal advice on what you should do
You want to know what are all of your options to live and/or work in the United States, including what visas are available to you
What you will need to get a visa
Are you eligible for a certain type of visa
How to complete a visa application yourself, and what type of evidence you need

These types of consultations require us to spend a lot of time to examine your situation, apply our experience and expertise, and provide you with our legal advice.

Most attorneys don’t share their expertise for free. Also, giving you the best legal advice means understanding everything that might affect your situation, so it is in your interest to pay for the service.

When you hire a lawyer for a consultation, we are obligated to act in your best interest.

What is a paid consultation?

What if I don't know whether or not I need a lawyer?

In this case you will likely fall into the paid consultation category, since we will have to take the time to evaluate your situation at length to advise you on your legal options. But there is good news…

At Occam Immigration, if you pay a consultation fee and later decide to hire our firm to handle your case, we will credit your consultation fee against your legal fees!
