Should I invest in an initial consultation?

Question

Absolutely! Mutual trust is an essential component of any attorney-client relationship. You will want to ensure that the lawyer you hire for your immigration matter is both competent and trustworthy. Scheduling an initial consultation of up to thirty minutes with Maged & Rost will give the lawyer an opportunity to review your documents and discuss your case with you as well as provide you with the opportunity to ask questions about your matter to determine what our lawyers can assist you with. The initial consultation is where Maged & Rost’s partnership with our clients begins. The strategy and steps for obtaining your goals are discussed, and if both parties agree, the start of your journey through the US immigration law maze begins. Sometimes, the end result of an initial consultation is to do nothing at all, and this could prove very valuable: if you make a wrong move in the immigration minefield, you could end up in a worse position than you would by sitting still. As Sir Francis Bacon said in 1597, “knowledge is power,” and this still holds true today. Armed with the knowledge of your legal options, you are in a better position to decide how and even whether to proceed with your matter.
