I am not an immigration lawyer in US. I practice law in a different country. But in general most lawyers put in a lot of work to find and retain clients.

My advice could be to ask around if anybody can recommend any good lawyer, no matter what field he is specialized in. Ask that lawyer if he/she can help you with your questions. If he/she can’t he/she will refer to a colleague that is specialized in the field you are looking for. Lawyers know lawyers :), we network a lot.

Another way could be to try to research the topic you want to get answer to online. Most law firms/lawyers publish informative articles when they have free time for marketing purposes. Contact the lawyer/firm having written that article.

And believe me, if you connect with a lawyer, he’ll come and connect with all your friends who are looking for a lawyer too :).



I'd definitely let you buy me a beer. I'd say the approach is similar to finding people in other professional fields. Ask someone you know and trust in the legal field for a recommendation for someone in a specialty. So, for example, if you have a relationship with a corporate lawyer, ask him or her for a recommendation for a good employment lawyer. Lawyers know lawyers and one way or another likely will be able to connect you to another good lawyer in a specific field or location.
