Abogada Nancy Reyes Guarderas of the Matian Firm | La Liga Defensora is scheduled to appear on California radio and TV stations to discuss what people can expect at their first appointment with an immigration attorney.
First and foremost, Guarderas urges people to come to their first meeting prepared to be completely honest and transparent with their immigration attorney. Immigration is complicated. If you’re not 100% honest with your attorney, you may miss out on opportunities or find yourself in a situation you did not intend. Remember, all information you share with your attorney is confidential.
“There’s nothing like getting the most of your free consultation,” she said. “The best way to do so is to have as much of your information and documents ready to be reviewed and discussed at the consultation. We will make the best of that consultation by providing a specific strategy for your family.”
Guarderas advises you to bring the following documents with you to your consult:
-
Birth Certificate for you and your children
-
Marriage certificate or divorce records, if applicable
-
Death certificates of immediate relatives, if applicable
-
Identifications (ie. driver’s license, consular ID or passport)
-
Past criminal history dates/locations of arrest
-
Information about your entries and exits to/from the United States
-
I-94, arrival – departure record
-
Past work permits or green card, if applicable
-
Any letters or copies of documents to/from Immigration
-
If you don’t have the above, the attorneys at La Liga Defensora will help you find it!
And, come prepared with the following questions:
-
Do you specialize in immigration law? If immigration is not the attorney’s primary focus, you risk them being caught off guard by changing laws and accelerated enforcement. An experienced immigration attorney knows how to manage unique immigration situations.
-
Do you have experience with situations like mine? What have the outcomes of those cases been? Immigration is a very unique aspect of the law and comes with its own distinctive challenges. It’s important the attorney you choose knows the ins and outs of immigration law, and has experience achieving favorable outcomes for their clients.
-
How long have you practiced immigration law?
At La Liga Defensora, your first consultation with our legal team is free. During this consultation, you will fill out a questionnaire that will be vetted by an attorney to determine whether your case is actionable, and if you’re likely to succeed. We will then thoroughly explain the information to you so that you can completely understand your options. If you decide to proceed, La Liga Defensora is so well-equipped that they can start working on your case that very same day.
