You are looking for an immigration lawyer because you have an immigration problem. At Ackah Business Immigration Law, we smooth the way to Canada and the United States for employees, families and individuals. Hiring the right immigration lawyer is essential whether you're crossing borders for work, for life, or for family. Before you hire an immigration lawyer, you should ask questions to make sure they can solve your problem and help you achieve your goals.
Questions To Ask BEFORE You Hire an Immigration Lawyer
1. Why Should I Hire An Immigration Lawyer
Immigration law is becoming more complex and challenging every day. Immigration applications can be refused due to minor oversights and omissions that can delay or negatively impact your business or your family reunification plans. By not using a lawyer you put your business and your family at risk. Ackah Business Immigration Law can help you understand your rights and understand Canadian immigration policies as they apply to your unique circumstances.
2. Do You Offer a Free Consultation?
Yes! When you call Ackah Law, we evaluate whether we offer the immigration services you require during a free initial consultation with our Intake Officer or Client Engagement Coordinator. Based on the results of our call, you may ask for a flat rate quote and hire Ackah Law to handle your immigration case, or book a consultation with an immigration lawyer or regulated professional immigration consultant. Sometimes a consultation is all you need to answer your immigration questions and discuss your options. Other times, a consultation is the first step in the immigration process.
Every immigration case is unique because everyone's situation is unique. There is no one-fits-all answer to immigration questions. An immigration lawyer will have many questions about your case and qualifications.
3. How Much Will You Charge?
Ackah Law offers Flat Fee Pricing for immigration cases so you are never surprised or caught unprepared. We operate on a flat fee basis: What we quote is what you'll pay.
