How do most immigration attorneys charge for their services?
Immigration lawyers usually charge fees for their services on a flat or fixed-fee basis. Others charge purely hourly rates. Yet others charge a combination, depending on the circumstances. With flat fees, the client agrees to pay the attorney a set amount of money to represent the client with a particular immigration issue, such as a labor certification application or a petition for H-1B visa status. The benefit of this fee structure is that the client knows the legal costs from the start and can budget accordingly.
