How much did you pay your lawyer?

[Visitor User 240]

For those they chose the lawyer/attorney route for whatever reason. How much were your fees not counting the $725 for N-400 and Biometric?

Was it a one time fee? Or more fees later? Did you have your lawyer sit with at the interview?

Why would you need an attorney for an N-400?  That was the easiest part of the entire immigration process.

Personal choice. This thread is really about the ones who paid.

I see.  The only people I know who hired attorneys had very complicated cases.  Good luck.

Attorney fees vary a lot. If your case is complicated, you can expect $7-12 or even more. Also, keep in mind that VJ is mostly full of DIYers, so you probably won't get much people that used attorneys in here.

&1000 for helping me filling the application, and he attended the interview with me as well.

I also hired the same lawyer for 485, 751.

yes. its very good price but I had hire him twice before, and honestly the N-400 is very easy form to fill. I personally would not hire a lawyer for N-400 unless you have a complicated case.

1k. I hired this attorney for my I-751 as well. Only reason I opted for help with N400 was my prior divorce and a traffic ticket on record. I could have easily done it myself but chose that 1K was worth my peace of mind.

 

Attending the interview was an additional $500. This was optional.

I know someone with prior arrests who got quoted 5K from a lawyer just to take the case. This is in Fairfield County, CT. 

 

He didn't end up hiring a lawyer and got his Citizenship. We obtained all court and police records and truthfully answered all questions.

True. So what about a simple slam dunk case? $500-$2000 depending on lawyer experience?

Good deal. How many years of experience did this lawyer have? 
 

How much for your Green Card process?

If the lawyer is fairly new that’s a good rate for a simple case.
