If you can read step by step instructions, and read the guides and forums fere, save your money. I hired one and then I found this site. You can do it yourself.

Like Feli114 said, if you can read, fill in forms and put together a package of information you should be fine. This is if you have an uncomplicated straightforward case. If you have obstacles or red flags that would be a concern, then you might want to consult an attorney. Most of us here are DIY and have done just fine using the knowledge found here on VJ. Follow the instructions, look at the samples, ask lots of questions. The people here are great!

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Initially filed for K1 visa - Feb 23 2012

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've abandoned this application

We married on Aug 24, 2013 in a small ceremony in MA

We'll be applying for a CR1 / IR1 visa as soon as we are able

I think it is waste of money. Hiring someone to fill in the forms is not necessary if you can read and follow the instructions. We finished everything alone, and visa is in my hands already :)
