Introduction
Even the smallest mistake can have long lasting consequences. A family can be torn apart in a single moment. An individual and their loved ones are best served when they have an experienced immigration attorney advocating on their behalf throughout the process. Many are unaware of the risks involved in attempting to navigate the complicated system of immigration laws. Let us fight for you and your family’s future.
Understand the Complexity of Immigration Law
When it comes to the complex and ever-changing US immigration laws and regulations, many individuals become lost in the system. The US entry system is impacted by current politics and public policy, making constant changes. Many individuals struggle to comprehend the terms and processes of US immigration laws and often require explanations and assistance in processing their cases.
Currently, DACA renewals are processing within 14-22 months and each passing day of inaction could mean the loss of rights and benefits to which an individual is entitled. One of the biggest mistakes that can occur is missing a deadline for a required submission or application, resulting in the loss of opportunities to receive entitled benefits. It is crucial to remain on top of all required submissions and applications in order to stay on track in the process.
Also, in a rapid deportation proceeding, it is essential to know your rights. Having an experienced and effective team of immigration lawyers on your side can greatly impact your fight for rights in your quest for citizenship or status in the US.

Recognize the Risks of Self-Representation
The road to support through the often complex process of visa applications can be difficult and lonely. Self-representation in visa matters can pose great risks to individuals and their families including errors in the application process, failure to meet critical application and processing deadlines, and lack of preparation for crucial hearings. In fact, statistics reveal that individuals who are proceeding through the visa application process without an attorney are more than 2.5 times more likely to face removal than their represented counterparts.
Furthermore, even the smallest of errors in the application process can result in great delay and even denial of the entire application, potentially leading to removal or even deportation of the applicant and their family. A disturbing fact is that 77% of all removal orders are issued to individuals who are proceeding without an attorney in these matters. Many individuals do not even know of the basic rights afforded to them including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
Immigration in general is a process that is unknown to many people and thus lacks transparency which can lead to great error and place individuals and their families at great risk for severe and potentially life-altering consequences. In fact, statistics prove that individuals represented by experienced attorneys have up to 10.5 times greater chance of prevailing in their cases than those who are proceeding without representation. Specifically, in FY 2019 through FY 2024, removal orders were issued to 26.9% of respondents who were represented by an attorney whereas 61.8% of those who were represented by no one at all received removal orders.
