Law Office of Tasoff & Tasoff

Why You Need a Consultation

You need a consultation with an experienced and knowledgeable immigration attorney because you do not know what you do not know. When you think you have one question, a lawyer may provide answers to the unasked questions that do not even seem relevant to you.

Over the years, we have seen many situations in which mistakes were made because people failed to get good legal advice first. People often take a course of action based on assumptions or the experience of friends, co-workers, or even from quick answers from immigration attorneys. Immigration law is not always forgiving of mistakes or lack of knowledge. Unfortunately, some good intentioned attorneys will respond to a person's simple immigration question without having knowledge of the background facts, and the answer is very often bad legal advice for the individual (even if it is a correct answer to the question).

Reading about immigration categories on the Internet may familiarize you with the terminology and basic requirements. However, reading alone will not provide you with the information you will need for your individual circumstances; but an experience and knowledgeable immigration attorney, like those at Tasoff & Tasoff, will provide you with this information and much more.

Immigration law is a complex framework of laws, regulations, and policies interpreted by more than six federal agencies (within four Executive Branch Departments), several federal administrative courts, and the United States federal courts. Added to this complexity are national procedures, local procedures, and overseas consular processing guidelines. The attorneys at Tasoff & Tasoff are counselors that take into consideration this complex framework, historic information, recent trends, experience, and your specific background to develop a suitable approach to reach your goal.

The attorneys at Tasoff & Tasoff ask the correct and relevant background questions. A person's response to an attorney's question often leads to another question whereby the attorney elicits the critical information and facts that are needed to provide good advice. Through this method of consultation we provide strategies, long-term planning, and anticipate potential problems.
