Frequently asked questions
Do I need all my documents before I book? No. Bring what you have, and we will tell you what else is needed.
Is what I tell you confidential? We take your privacy seriously. If you consult our firm about possible representation, we handle information you share in accordance with the professional duties owed to prospective clients, even if you do not hire us. If we represent you, we protect information relating to your matter under applicable confidentiality rules. These protections have legal exceptions, and whether a particular communication is protected by attorney-client privilege depends on the circumstances.
To request a consultation, please provide only your contact information, a brief description of your immigration matter, and any urgent deadline. Do not send sensitive details or documents through the website unless we ask for them. Contacting us or scheduling a consultation does not, by itself, mean that we have agreed to represent you. We confirm representation and its scope in a written engagement agreement.
Can I book if I have already filed something or received a notice? Yes. Bring the notice with you, and note any dates on it.
