Five Questions to Ask a Criminal Lawyer Before Hiring
For most people, choosing the right lawyer (or doctor, or accountant, etc.) is difficult. Our work is highly specialized, so it's hard for regular people to know what questions to ask. Below are five questions you should ask criminal lawyers before hiring them. There are plenty of other questions to ask, but there are good ones.
1. What will you do if the prosecutor refuses to plea bargain and insists on a plea of guilty?
The right answer is that your criminal lawyer will fight the case. In this situation, a defendant has nothing to lose from fighting. The worst that can happen if you fight is that you will be found guilty after a trial - the same result as if you plead guilty. Practically, it's possible that the sentence would be worse in this situation, but in my experience there is either no difference or a better result. Plus, you might actually win. A follow-up question to ask on this is how much it will cost for the fight.
2. How many jury trials have you done?
The answer, hopefully, is at least five. For more serious cases you'd want someone with 10 or more trials. If the answer is zero, then you may not want that lawyer. I've had over 40 jury trials (maybe over 50 - I've lost count). Most of my trials have been in personal injury cases, but I have had a few criminal jury trials. On that thought, a good follow up question here is to ask how many criminal jury trials the attorney has had.
For felonies, you may also want to ask how many felony trials. I'm ambivalent about this one, because I've only had to show up for one felony trial and the prosecutor agreed to dismiss it before we picked a jury. All of my other felony cases have been resolved long before we got to trial, most of them favorably.
Similarly, if it's a federal criminal case, you should ask about federal trials. Around here those are a lot rarer and it's probably hard to find an attorney who has done a lot of them.
3. Who will handle my case?
Most criminal lawyers are solo practitioners or work in small offices, and they handle their own cases. Our office has grown and I have associates who handle substantial work. I generally review their paperwork and do most of the hearings and so far all of the trials. I'm confident that having associates do part of the work is actually better for the client. You get different sets of eyes looking at things and there's more chance of picking up key details.
The thing to worry about is that some lawyers have a "business model" that may not be good for you. It's pretty rare, but some lawyers who advertises heavily end up doing almost no work on your case. They accept cases far from their office and have someone local appear for them. Unlike with an associate, there is little quality control.
For minor cases like traffic tickets, where the lawyer will simply be negotiating a plea deal, this may not matter as much. Easy for me to say since we do that. But I don't feel comfortable having an outside lawyer do substantive in-court work for me on a serious criminal case, even on a DWI (which I think is pretty serious).
4. How many cases like mine have you handled?
In general, you want a lawyer who's seen something similar in the past. If you are facing a DWI, you want a lawyer who's handled a few before. If it's a federal drug case, you want someone with that experience. An attorney with no experience in that area is going to miss some details. I'm a much better DWI lawyer now than I was four years ago. I've seen more, done more, and learned more.
Every once in a while I get a call from someone with a really odd case. If you're in that situation, you're not going to find a lawyer who's had ten of them before. You should be looking for someone with general criminal defense experience and something at least vaguely related.
For traffic cases, this can matter a great deal. Our firm represents many out-of-state drivers, and the deals we try to get for them are sometimes different than what we do for NY drivers. We have direct access to not only the NY DMV database, but also the NJ MVC because we get so many New Jersey clients. Make sure the attorney understands your circumstances and knows how to deal with your particular situation.
5. Do I have to come to Court?
Our clients rarely come to Court with us. Most of our appearances are routine and nothing of significance happens at them. It is a waste of time for our clients to come, and it can be quite stressful for them. By saving them the trip and stress, we are providing a real benefit.
Even for most hearings and even some trials, we do not bring our clients. They are certainly welcome to come, and in some cases their participation is important, but we usually don't need them. Pre-trial hearings are mainly about what the police have to say. Clients rarely testify at this stage.
An exception is complex cases or white collar crime, where the client's presence can be critical. Even if they don't testify, they can provide insight to the attorney that helps with cross-examination of the prosecution witnesses.
Those five questions are a good start. You should have more, based on the details of your case and your situation. Choose wisely and you will be a lot happier with your criminal defense lawyer.

So, You Want to Be a Lawyer?
Being a lawyer can be extremely rewarding and there is a host of benefits that can accompany the job.
However, before you can start enjoying all that being an attorney has to offer, you have to be dedicated to the long path you must travel to set foot in this career.
Education
Many people who want to become a lawyer dream of going to law school before they have even started attending college.
The fact is, to even take the bar exam you need a bachelor's degree and a 3 year law degree. Without these things you cannot become a practicing attorney. So, before you decide between Harvard Law School and Yale Law you need to take care of the basics.
When you start college with the intention of going to law school you need to take care of your basic courses.
That means you need to earn your associates degree and bachelors degree. You also want to make sure you take care of any prerequisites. Consult a guidance or educational counselor to make your educational plans.
Once you earn your bachelors degree you can move on to law school and eventually take the test for the American Bar Association.
The Career
Once you have earned your law degree and passed the American Bar Association test you have many options for practicing law.
From property law to international law there is a wide choice of specialized fields you can work in.
Additionally, many people choose to practice law in a public service capacity. For some this means becoming a prosecutor and for others this means working in some sort of legal aid capacity.
Many people who earn their law degree work in a field of law outside of trial work. These fields would include business and finance law, intellectual property law, mergers, bankruptcy and environmental law.
Non-trial law involves you representing a group, filing papers on their behalf and advising them through legal situations.
There are many types of law a person can practice when they become an attorney and many different capacities they can work in. The legal field is a very competitive and exciting field. Many people find that the work they put into it is well-worth the reward they experience once in the field.

Las Vegas Real Estate Lawyers
When one decides to buy a house, he plans to invest most of his money in this major asset. For the same reason, great care becomes crucial, and that is when the need for a good real estate lawyer comes in.
A Las Vegas real estate attorney will play the role of a watchdog who can guide a client through the details and paperwork necessary for any house sale in Las Vegas. His work includes preparing and reviewing the client's sales contract, and making sure that buyers are aware of exactly what they're getting and not getting. A diligent lawyer will act as a liaison between the buyer and the lender in order to avoid any last-minute surprises. He would then summarize the documents, which should be signed by the client to facilitate the transaction. Sometimes, after the sales contract is approved, problems may arise which might require the contract to be revised. At this stage, a good Las Vegas real estate lawyer will help settle such disputes peacefully. Depending on the amount of time spent on the case, Las Vegas real estate lawyers will charge flat fees of anywhere from $300 to $1,000.
However, the job of a Las Vegas real estate lawyer goes beyond handling the sale and purchase of a house. It also includes negotiating and planning agreements for purchases and sales of businesses. They also represent purchasers or sellers in real estate transactions, for example, finalizing the contract of commercial or retail properties.
It is also the duty of a Las Vegas real estate lawyer to act as a local counsel and issue opinion letters on Las Vegas issues in transactions throughout the United States and overseas.

Do You Need a Real Estate Lawyer?
A real estate lawyer is an expert on legal matters concerning the buying and selling of property. This professional has extensive schooling in order to know the law inside and out. A realtor is an agent employed by the buyer or seller in order to oversee a property sale transaction. While an agent can be quite knowledgeable, a real estate license is nowhere near the credential of an attorney. In order to have full legal protection, having a lawyer look over this important paperwork is a wise idea.
Property transactions can be complicated matters that require a fine tuned and well trained eye. Buying or selling a house is a huge financial step yet many homeowners make the decision from an emotional position. While a house represents comfort, safety, family and stability, it is also a hefty chunk of an asset or debt obligation and must be viewed through a logical lens, as well. Signing on the dotted line is a big deal.
Some important considerations in consulting a lawyer include:
1. If a buyer is having a house built, it is important to carefully inspect the home buying agreement, as well as the reputation of the builder. Checking with the Board of Contractors will shed light on any complaints or past problems. Complaints or evidence of financial irregularities are red flags and cause for hesitation.
2. Does the contract allow adequate time for home inspections? Adequate time will allow a buyer to be released from the contract should problems be discovered. And one shouldn't just accept the home inspector recommended by the realtor without question-this may bring about a report slanted in the favor of those who profit from the sale going through, namely the realtor.
3. Exact price and timeframe for closing should be spelled out in the contract. Whether the buyer or seller pays for certain fees should also be written down in black and white. An attorney will look these details over closely so that nothing is hidden or overlooked.
4. What is included in the purchase? All appliances and furnishings that are included must be notated in writing. This is important for both the buyer and seller.
5. Remember that a realtor makes a commission from the sale, but an attorney is an independent contractor who is performing his duties as a separate transaction. A real estate agent may be motivated by his or her own financial stake in the sale, but a lawyer will be neutral about this business matter.
Buying or selling property is one of the most important financial decisions of the average person's lifetime. A real estate lawyer may cost more up front, but will save money over the long run.
If you are looking out for a real estate lawyer Baltimore based lawyers can handle anything from ordering payoffs to clearing and curing the most difficult obstacles a chain of title can have. There prices are also fair and affordable. To know more, visit http://www.blumenfeld-law.com

Truck Accident Lawyer
House boats, sailboats, motor boats, fishing boats, jet skis, it's all fun and games until someone ends up wrapped around a tree, stuck in a screw, or run aground on a coral reef. There are so many potential boating accidents occurring every single day. If you want a good example, take para-sailing into account. You have a boat dragging a guy attached to a parachute about fifty feet in the air. Granted, that's a lot of fun, in fact I've done it before, but all it takes is one slip, or a wayward bird to turn it into your worst nightmare.
Of course personal watercraft aren't the only high risk factors. If you think about it, you can also end up in a boating accident on a larger vessel, such as a cruise ship, or even a commercial fishing boat. If you find yourself vacationing on a cruise liner, and you are either injured on board, or you manage to be knocked off the boat, then of course you've obtained a serious boating injury, and you could even file a lawsuit against the cruise liner. Though it might get a tad complicated if the cruise ship was in international waters at the time.
In 2006, over four thousand recreational boating accidents were reported, and property damage rose into the millions. Many of these injuries, fatalities, and damages were the direct result of alcohol abuse or outright carelessness. What's sad is that many families vacation on sailboats, and have had harm come to them due to a careless watercraft operator. People do not deserve or need this sort of tragedy in their lives. Jet ski collisions are quite common on open water, generally because of people riding them at night, so it's no surprise when the suddenly collide with each other, or into a late night fishing boat. As horrible as it sounds, this is the sad truth, people just don't take watercraft safety seriously.
So if you find yourself injured due to a boating accident, that is a true accident, or the product of operator incompetence, then after the smoke has cleared, the hospital visit has been concluded, and you have gotten settled at home, then it's time for you to seek compensation. In order to achieve this, you need a lawyer, a good lawyer that can get you compensation for boat accidents that involve serious injury, wrongful death, and a wide range of other issues.
The important thing to remember, is that you must get an attorney that has a lot of experience in this area, one who specializes in boating accidents. These kinds of attorneys will know the ins and outs of this type of injury, and they'll fight for you in court to get the maximum amount of money, or in a best case scenario, they'll settle out of court, and get you what you need to put your life back on track.
If you've have accident in a truck and need an attorney, our truck accident lawyer [http://www.personalinjury.lawyer-int.com/truck-accident-attorney/truck-accident-lawyer.html] can help. Free advise with our truck accident lawyer [http://www.personalinjury.lawyer-int.com/truck-accident-attorney/truck-accident-lawyer.html] where there is no fee unless we win..

Immigration Lawyers
A lawyer is a person who has the responsibility of advising his clients on legal matters and represents them in the courts of law. Immigration lawyers are lawyers who help people deal with processes that permit them to become a citizen. They assist people who desire entry into the United States for the purpose of tourism, employment, and higher studies or to gain citizenship. An experienced immigration lawyer provides foreigners with the assistance they need to make a trip to the United States successful. US Immigration lawyers also deal with issues relating to the associated legal rights, duties, and obligations of foreigners in the United States. Immigration lawyers deal with the procedures involved with naturalization of foreign nationals. They also deal with legal issues concerning people who are refugees or asylees, people who cross U.S. borders by means of fraud or other illegal means, and those who traffick or otherwise illegally transport foreigners into the United States.
Immigration lawyers are successful in providing all types of immigration visas and petitions, including H1B visas, E treaty trader or investor visas, family residency and employment-based permanent residency visas. They also assist with visa waivers, religious visas, citizenship or naturalization, immigration court proceedings and deportation or removal hearings. Most of the lawyers and attorneys work in private firms. They also practice individually, providing legal services. Some immigration lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. The immigration lawyers employed by the government work at the county, state, or federal level, depending on their experience.
Quite a few lawyers offer "a la carte" legal work. Instead of handling an entire case, lawyers prepare only parts of a case. In certain cases, lawyers only advise their clients. Such lawyers only provide the right amount of legal help that the client absolutely needs and can afford. Usually, in these cases, the lawyer does not represent the client in court Even though this practice is still controversial in some segments of the legal fraternity; organizations like the American Bar Association have gladly accepted the concept.

A Deportation Lawyer Can Make the Difference
The difference between being deported and staying in the country can often depend on the deportation lawyer that you hire to handle your case. The best attorneys understand that the possibility of deportation will have an effect on your emotions, your family, and your budget. Therefore, many of them are willing to work with what you have to ensure that you get the help that you deserve.
There are a number of reasons why the government may decide to begin proceedings that would require someone to be deported. During a deportation, there are traditionally four steps which must be followed: the Notice to Appear, the Notice of Hearing, the Master Calendar Hearing, and an individual hearing.
If the ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, recommends deportation, they will have the Chief Counsel send a Notice to Appear, which announces the intent to have a person removed from the United States and will including information regarding the hearing.
It is at this time that an attorney that specializes in deportations should be contacted and given the letter that was received. A Notice of Hearing will reiterate the time, date, and location of the hearing. The Master Calendar Hearing, which is typically informal, will often contain several people facing removal, each one given their individual time to find out why the ICE recommends deportation. An individual hearing will be scheduled and if an attorney has not been hired, it is imperative to do so before the hearing is conducted.

There you read about one of the best immigration and deportation attorneys in New York, and arguably the United States, and how Mr. Manchanda and his staff of legal experts may be able to help you.

We are suddenly faced with a looming decision that draws closer to when we graduate from high school.
Many people have the desire to become a lawyer so that they can follow the rules of justice and make sure that people are tried fairly. The law says that people are guilty until proven innocent - but in order to make sure that happens we need people who will step up to the plate and discover how to do it themselves.

What A Bankruptcy Lawyer Will Do For You
You need a bankruptcy lawyer when you are in trouble financially. Quite often people that are planning to file for bankruptcy need a qualified pair of eyes to look over their financial situation and counsel them on the best way forward. A bankruptcy lawyer can bring this knowledge to the situation and advise on the type of bankruptcy to file for, the way to negotiate with creditors, a strategy for paying off debt and a number of other problems. This is a great help to many people that may be in serious debt or contemplating bankruptcy as they are often under severe pressure and in many ways may be burying their heads in the sand when it comes to their financial responsibilities. This article will cover how a bankruptcy lawyer can help.
Given that bankruptcy is not really a simple matter and most people would not have experienced going through bankruptcy before, it makes sense to hire somebody that has vast experience of the situation. The outcome of a bankruptcy hearing is that it is decided in your favor. There is more chance of this occurring if you hire a bankruptcy lawyer.
To begin with, a bankruptcy lawyer will assess your financial situation. He/she will discuss your assets and debts. The lawyer will determine if bankruptcy is the best strategy or whether negotiating with creditors is a better solution. Next, your bankruptcy lawyer will decide whether your debts may or may not be discharged. He/she will also help you to protect any property that you may have before the bankruptcy goes ahead. This includes other personal assets and possibly filing for a homestead exemption.
The bankruptcy lawyer will help in filing the bankruptcy petition and help to fill out the accompanying documentation that is needed to confirm your financial situation.
When it comes to dealing with creditors, a bankruptcy lawyer can play a key role in negotiating a settlement or payment plan. The lawyer will ensure that creditors act within the law and don't make impossible demands.
Finally, the bankruptcy lawyer will take care of all the important matters that will help to protect you before you get a discharge and it includes matters such as liens on your home, claims for fraud and more like these.
Remember that a bankruptcy lawyer will be charging for his/her services. Fees range depending on the complexity of the case. You could pay $500 dollars or more for their services and an extra $200 for filing chapter 7 bankruptcy or $190 for a chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you want a successful outcome to your bankruptcy hearing then it is advisable to find this extra cash even though your situation might be desperate.
It is important to find a good bankruptcy lawyer. Check on their experience and reputation. Get a feel for their personality and whether it is agreeable with your own style. You will be spending a bit of time with this person and divulging some personal information to them so you want to feel comfortable with them and feel that they are trustworthy.
If you are thinking about filing for bankruptcy it is important to understand the options that are available to you, visit http://www.bankruptcyfixup.com for advice on handling bankruptcy, including what you should know about the new bankruptcy law Adrian Whittle writes on ways to deal with debt and bankruptcy advice.

• keep you up to date on settlement negotiations, and
• put significant effort into trying to settle your case out of court and, if that is not possible, prepare your case-and you-for trial.
Remember, communication is a two-way street. Just as your attorney should provide you information, you must provide complete and honest information to your attorney. This includes filling out requested forms and gathering requested documents. If your attorney has incomplete or inaccurate information, the advice you receive may be inappropriate for your particular circumstances.
Do not be concerned if your attorney is friendly with the opposing counsel. In fact, this often works to your advantage. Even if the attorneys are friends, they will each work for their client's interest. Attorneys who cooperate with each other are better able to negotiate and settle out of court, which will result in lower legal fees.
In addition, if the attorneys are enemies and drawn into an emotional fight, the end result will be higher fees and a lower quality of representation for you. An attorney in such a situation will not be able to focus clearly and objectively on the facts of your case.

Quick Tips For Finding a Lawyer
Almost everything we do is affected by laws. There are so many laws that it would take a person with an average reading skill over a thousand years just to read the law book. As if we have nothing else to do with our lives but read laws. So what do we do when a legal situation arises? Do we handle it ourselves or do we call a lawyer who's been trained in the legal field? For many people, the thought of calling a lawyer may be frightening. Sometimes they might not even know if they need a lawyer or how to even choose one, so they might avoid contacting a lawyer even when it is in their best interests to do so. However, do your homework before you hire a lawyer for yourself and/or your business. At the time when you are faced with serious legal or medical problems, you still need to make a good, informed decision about who will represent you. And it doesn't have to be as hard or as costly as you may think to find a good lawyer. Provided below are some quick tips that can take the stress out of finding a lawyer.
Can I represent myself?
You have the right to represent yourself. However, the law is extremely complex and changes frequently. Unless you dedicate 100% of your time into educating yourself with all of the laws and legal procedures relevant to your case, you stand a good chance of losing. You may very easily overlook a legal aspect affecting your case that may sometimes bring unanticipated legal consequences that can be difficult and expensive to undo. So, you need to weigh the risks and benefits of representing yourself vs. hiring a lawyer to represent your case.
When do I contact a lawyer?
When faced with a problem that you think it needs legal attention, you may wish to consult with a lawyer about your legal rights and responsibilities as soon as possible. Many states have deadlines for filing lawsuits especially for personal injuries. These so called "statute of limitations" laws are designed to encourage people to promptly come forward and present their case. But this doesn't mean that you have to simply pick the first lawyer you bump into because you're in a hurry, as you will learn from these tips.
How do I choose the "right" lawyer for me?
From a personal aspect, selecting a lawyer is always a personal matter. But, as with any service providers, the lawyer is just providing his/her service to his/her client. So, the lawyer-client relationship needs be based on trust and open and honest communication so the lawyer could provide the best of his/her service. It requires a mutual commitment from both the client and the lawyer. If the client is not cooperating fully, the lawyer could not provide the best of his/her service. At the same time, if the lawyer is not easily accessible and prompt in responding to your phone calls, emails, and requests, you're going to get nothing but frustration. Hence, when choosing the "right" lawyer for your case you need to feel 100% comfortable when talking to that lawyer and feel confident in his or her abilities. If there's even a single doubt, you need to keep looking. Your case is too important to entrust to someone who does not inspire your confidence.
From a professional aspect, people often believe that simply any lawyer could handle any case. This misleading confidence frequently works to the client's disadvantage. No lawyer is skilled in every area of the law. So, to find the "right" lawyer for your case you need not to be shy about asking your prospective lawyer questions until you gain full confidence in his or her ability. Only then would you select that lawyer. Actually, while asking the questions, you'll be able to observe the lawyer's responsiveness and readiness to cooperate with you. Some of the most important questions you need to ask your prospective lawyer when going through the selection process are:
- What amount of experience do you have in this area of the law (the area of your legal need)?
- Will you or one of your associates handle my case? - if an associate handles your case, that's the person you need to interview.
- How many cases like mine have you handled? - ask for specifics for each of the cases.
- Could you provide me with references from some or each of the cases? - make sure you call each of the clients to learn about their experience.
A responsible and a caring lawyer would have no problems providing you with answers. If the lawyer is giving you runarounds for each of the questions and not providing you with specific answers, you need to keep looking. Also, always check with your State Bar Association if that lawyer has been the subject of an ethical complaint or inquiry.
Where do I find a lawyer?
No matter where you look for a lawyer, always keep in mind the above tip for choosing the right lawyer for you. Nevertheless, here are a few places to look for a lawyer:
- Yellow Pages and Advertisements - When you open your local yellow pages doesn't it seem like the doctors and the lawyers cover the half of the book with advertisements? It almost looks as if they're the only ones having the money for full blown ad pages. Speaking of ads, unless you have a marketing/sales knowledge and experience, you would never know how advertisements work. The advertisements are developed to psychologically trigger your emotional senses and make you respond to the call of action of the ad. It's a science of its own. So, you as an average consumer would have no idea which advertisement is telling the truth and which has the truth blown out of proportion. But, this is a very good place to at least get some names and phone numbers from local lawyers and start your selection process.
- Your Society Circle - Your family, friends, people you work with, people you talk to, people you know of ... start asking around. This is one of your most reliable sources. You will have a chance to get the first hand experience. Someone who has been in a same or a similar situation could tell you about their experience (good or bad) with their lawyer. If their experience has been nothing but good, you have a half of your work done. And even if no one in your society circle could refer you to a lawyer, they might know of someone else from their society circle who might have been in a similar situation. Some of the most reliable referrals come from people you trust - fellow business owners, friends and family - who have used lawyers recently. Word of mouth from a satisfied customer generally is very reliable.
- Bar Associations - This is another reliable source. Your local attorney bar association may maintain an attorney referral service, which is a list of their members by specialty who will consult with you for free or at a special rate set by the bar association for the first conference. The Bar Association could also tell you if a lawyer has been a subject of an ethical complaint or inquiry from past clients.
- The Internet - Indeed the Internet. But, this is your least reliable source because everything could be put on the 'net. However, just like with advertisements, you could use the Internet to at least get you a list of local lawyers practicing in your problem area so you could start the selection process. On the Internet, search for lawyer directories, such as Martindale.com; lawyer referral services, such as LegalMatch.com; people/business finding services, such as Anywho.com; and simply your favorite search engine.

Using a Bankruptcy Lawyer Or Doing Your Own Bankruptcy
If you are thinking about filing for bankruptcy, and you think you can do everything yourself to save money instead of using a bankruptcy lawyer, you might be a little overwhelmed with all the work involved. The first thing you will need to do is find all the documents you need to file. You have to find a counselor that is approved by the court and a money management counselor for the end. You have to find a trustee to collect the monthly payments to pay the creditors if you are filing a chapter 13 or 12.
After you have this all done, you need to start filing out all the paperwork. You will need a credit report that lists all your debts that have gone to collection, any debts that have not gone to collection and any other debts you owe. You need account numbers, addresses and names as well as final amounts for each creditor. A bankruptcy lawyer will enter all this information into a software program for easy review. You will have to do everything manually.
After you have all the information, you need to know how to figure out your income and your expenses. If you do not do the entries correctly, you filing can be postponed until you have all the correct information. Even if you have a bankruptcy lawyer, you still will have a lot of work to do, but the aggravation is turned over to them. They are the ones that have to get all the paperwork correctly filled out and you just have to give them the information.
Filing for bankruptcy is not as easy as everyone thinks. The bankruptcy lawyer spends a great deal of time preparing your case and reviewing to make sure everything is correct. It is better to use a lawyer than it is to do it yourself.
If you have to File Bankruptcy then you should get a Bankruptcy Lawyer as well. Visit http://www.BankruptcyDistrictCourt.com for more information on filing bankruptcy.

Plan to Marry a Non-Citizen in the Near Future? Call a Lawyer
For most cases, a K-1 visa requires that the marriage be legal in the relevant state, and that the parties have met in the last two years (unless coming from a cultural or religious background that precludes this). A K-1 visa also requires the following:
The applicant must submit to a fingerprint scan.
The applicant must possess a valid passport, birth certificate, and certificate of prior spouse's death or divorce (where applicable) from the country of origin.
Medical and police records, and proof of financial support.
Evidence of engagement.
Other forms and pertinent fees.
K-1 visa applicants with children may also be able to obtain K-2 visa(s) for their child(ren).
For applicants already married to US citizens, who understandably wish to enter the country with their spouse, a K-3 visa application will be necessary. This application should be filed at the US embassy in the country where the marriage occurred (even if that country is the US). A K-3 visa also requires the following:
The applicant must submit to a fingerprint scan.
The applicant must complete a Non-immigrant Visa Application and a Non-immigrant Fiance visa application.
Birth certificate, death / divorce certificate for prior spouse, medical and police records
A valid passport from the country of origin.
Other forms and pertinent fees.
In either case, applicants may be expected to prove that the engagement or marriage is genuine, and not merely for citizenship status. For any citizenship concern, it's always wise to contact a qualified Houston immigration attorney-with all the benefits conferred by US citizenship, too much is at stake to attempt freelance citizenship.

Detroit Child Custody Lawyer - Where To Find The Best
This is how you can find an excellent Detroit child custody lawyer
You can find good child custody attorneys everywhere, but finding and choosing a good lawyer from their crop is quite a task. You have to spend some time and make effort if you want your case to be represented by a sharp legal professional. If you approach a lawyer directly, he is sure to convince you that he is the right man for the job because he wants your business, but you shouldn't take a lawyer's talk at face value. Here's how you must go about finding and choosing a good family lawyer:
1. References
One way to find a good lawyer is to ask a friend or a relation if they can recommend a legal professional who has performed a great job in a known case case. If any of your friends or relations are satisfied with a family lawyer's services, they will only be too happy to introduce you to him. If they haven't availed of a family lawyer's services, but have been to a good lawyer who has worked well in another case, they can still refer you to that lawyer and then you can take a referral from him.
You can try calling a paralegal service and checking with them too. However, they will recommend the services of only those lawyers who outsource work from them.
2. Listings
Checking the Detroit child custody lawyer listings in the yellow pages is another option. While you won't be able to figure out how competent a lawyer is by looking at his ad, you may be able to figure out how much they charge, specially the initial consultation rate. Typically, family lawyers will be listed in the "Attorneys" section, which is further broken down into divorce, family law, marital and family law, etc.
3. The Martindale Hubbell Law Directory
The Martindale Hubbell Law Directory is a rich source of lawyer information. It lists close to 800,000 lawyers, and the information it carries about each listing is stupendous. You can get information such as age, degree, year when the lawyer started practice which helps you figure out how experienced he is, his bar association membership details, certification and ratings by peers, which is extremely important as you can figure out what a lawyer's peers think of his skills and attitude.
The peer rating in the Martindale Hubbell Law Directory is extremely important. It is divided into two significant areas - legal ability and general recommendation. Ratings under the legal ability section take into account experience, qualifications and the nature of practice. The ratings range is from A to C. Under the general recommendation section, lawyers are rated based on their adherence to professional standards, ethics, diligence, discharge of responsibilities and how much they stick to the code of conduct. The ratings range from A-V.
The directory lists Michigan custody lawyers by city and state. You have to figure out the area of specialization before calling up one of these lawyers, which you can do by looking for the particular lawyer up on the Internet. The Martindale Hubbell Law Directory is available in hard copy and is also accessible online at http://www.martindale.com. You can pay a visit to the public library or the courthouse law library to refer to the hard copy.
4. Advertisements
A Detroit child custody lawyer will normally advertise in magazines, newspapers and in some cases also on Radio and TV. You may refer to these ads to find a good family lawyer - but no matter how glitzy these ads are, they cannot really vouch for a lawyer's competence.
Winning custody of your children shouldn't be as difficult as it is. There are easy to follow and simple to learn programs available to you that will help you gain the upper hand and win your custody case. Don't simply listen to the advice of your lawyer because it may not be enough. Take the extra steps, learn the right strategies, and you'll gain the knowledge to win the case and take custody of your children.

How to Become a Lawyer
Do you want to be a lawyer someday? Do you understand the requirements to become a lawyer? Do you have the education and experience to become a lawyer? Do you have the minimum LSAT score to become a lawyer?
If you are looking for the answers to any of these questions please read on.
First, if you want to be a lawyer someday there are certain steps that you need to begin taking right now. For starters, you will need to maximize your undergraduate GPA and your LSAT score. The LSAT is the official law school admissions test used by the overwhelming majority of law schools in the United States. It is administered by the Law School Admissions Council.
The major requirements to become a lawyer are simple. First and foremost, you will need to be a graduate of an accredited undergraduate institution with a bachelors degree or its equivalent. Second, you will generally need to take the LSAT test to become admitted to a law school in the United States. Third, and finally, if you have a criminal background you may never be granted a license to practice law so going to law school might not be right for you. If you do have anything on your background you will need to discuss it with a qualified law school admissions officer at the different schools you are looking to attend. They will be able to advise you about the effects your past may have on your ability to be granted a license to practice law in various jurisdictions.
Don't worry about the education and experience you might need to get accepted into law school. As long as you have that bachelors degree you will get in somewhere and obtain a high quality education.
If you are worried that your LSAT score was bad or low or average...don't worry. Law schools want you, you'll just need to shop around and find the right one.
