Choosing an immigration lawyer: how to avoid becoming a victim of scammers

Immigrants to the United States are a very vulnerable category when it comes to finding a lawyer and getting legal services. Firstly, most newcomers do not have the financial resources to seek help from a large firm with a proven track record. Secondly, the legal system of the new country for many is not just a dark forest, but an impenetrable jungle. And thirdly, worries about their status in the United States do not allow a sober assessment of the situation and behavior of a lawyer.

This creates an excellent breeding ground for scammers who, posing as immigration lawyers, lure money out of newcomers or steal their personal data, leaving them in complete despair and with even bigger problems than before.
