Your Guide to Finding the Best Immigration Lawyer

Navigating the U.S. immigration system can be overwhelming—full of legal complexities, delays, and high-stakes decisions that impact your future and your family. Whether you're applying for a green card, seeking asylum, facing deportation proceedings, or helping a loved one immigrate, having the right immigration attorney by your side is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.

At Krispin Law, we believe that strong legal representation begins with connection: an attorney who not only understands the law but also listens to your story and fights for your goals. Here’s what to consider as you begin your search.

Where to Start: How to Research and Evaluate Immigration Attorneys

Finding a qualified immigration lawyer starts with asking the right questions—and knowing where to look. Consider the following:

• Attorney Directories: Use trusted directories such as the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) or the Massachusetts Bar Association to find licensed attorneys who focus on immigration law.
  
  
• Referrals from Your Community: Ask friends, family, or local nonprofits for recommendations. Firsthand experiences are often the most reliable.
  
  

As you research, pay attention to common themes in reviews. Do clients feel heard? Is the attorney responsive? Are they known for being thorough and honest?

What to Look for in a Qualified Immigration Attorney

Immigration law is one of the most dynamic and complex areas of legal practice. Your attorney should be more than just licensed—they should be experienced, focused, and deeply knowledgeable.

Here are the key qualifications to prioritize:

• Immigration Law Focus: Choose someone who dedicates the majority—or all—of their practice to immigration cases. Avoid general practitioners who only handle immigration occasionally.
  
  
• Experience With Cases Like Yours: Ask if the attorney has handled cases involving your specific issue (e.g., asylum, family petitions, deportation defense).
  
  
• Success Rate and Case Outcomes: While no outcome is guaranteed, a strong track record in similar cases is a good sign of effectiveness.
  
  
• Language Access: Make sure the attorney speaks your language or offers interpreter support. Clear communication is essential.
  
  

What to Ask in Your Initial Consultation

Your first meeting is more than just a formality—it’s your opportunity to assess whether the attorney is the right fit for you. Come prepared with questions such as:

• Have you handled cases like mine before?
  
  
• What would your strategy be for my situation?
  
  
• What risks or challenges do you foresee?
  
  
• How will we communicate and how often?
  
  
• What are your fees and what do they include?
  
  
• Will you personally work on my case, or will others in your office handle it?
  
  

A trustworthy attorney will offer honest answers, set realistic expectations, and take the time to understand your needs—not just your paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a lawyer just to apply for a green card?
Yes—immigration forms may seem straightforward, but even minor errors or missing documents can cause major delays or denials. A lawyer ensures your application is complete, accurate, and strategically prepared.

Can a lawyer speed up my case?
While no one can bypass legal timelines, a skilled attorney can prevent unnecessary delays and respond quickly to requests or complications, helping your case move forward more efficiently.

I was denied before. Can a lawyer still help me?
Absolutely. We often work with clients who were previously denied. We’ll review your denial, identify what went wrong, and explore your best path forward—whether that means reapplying, appealing, or adjusting your strategy.

Is a local attorney necessary if immigration law is federal?
Yes. A local immigration attorney understands how Massachusetts courts and USCIS offices operate and can navigate your case with insight that out-of-state lawyers may lack.
