Navigating the U.S. immigration system can be overwhelming, but legal expert Saman Movassaghi Gonzalez joins Inside South Florida to share why having an experienced immigration attorney on your side is one of the most important steps you can take.
Many people mistakenly believe they only need an attorney when a problem arises. In reality, immigration law is a legal process, not just a paperwork task, and having a knowledgeable attorney from the beginning can help ensure everything is filed correctly and in compliance with government standards.
The good news is that you can hire an immigration attorney at any point in your case, whether it’s the beginning, middle, or even near the end of the process. If you feel your current representation isn’t working, you’re also allowed to switch attorneys mid-process.
Another important point Saman raised is that immigration law is federal. That means attorneys are able to represent clients in all 50 states, regardless of where they or the client are located. So whether you're in Alaska or Florida, the law is the same, and an experienced immigration attorney can guide you through filings and interviews with confidence.
If you're looking for an attorney, Saman recommends treating it like you would finding a doctor, interview them, check reviews, ask about their experience with your specific type of case, and confirm they’re licensed with no disciplinary issues.
