The key idea
A job title is not proof of authority. Verify a helper’s credentials.
Read the lesson
Before paying for ordinary immigration legal help, verify a lawyer’s current license and good standing, or a representative’s current DOJ accreditation through a recognized organization. A notary, tax preparer or other job title does not establish that authority by itself. Use the official legal-help directories linked below. Ask for clear written terms, fees and receipts.
