Clients often ask “Do I really need a lawyer to handle my case?”

Here’s the truth.

It depends.

Some immigration cases are easier than others.

Run-of-the-mill family visas petition or citizenship application matters are not as tough as a deportation defense case at immigration court.

But are any cases truly run-of-the-mill?

In other words, are run-of-the-mill cases problem-free?

And supposing your case is run-of-the-mill, are you equipped to handle it?

Immigration law, at times, reminds me of the classic Western, “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.”

The Good, played by Clint Eastwood, is a subdued yet confident bounty hunter, ready to dive into battle.

The Bad is a ruthless and unfeeling mercenary who always finishes a job he is paid for.

The Ugly is a fast-talking bandit, who has committed a long list of crimes.

Similarly, there are good lawyers, bad lawyers, and outright scammers.
