Hello,

Legal services can be a headache when you don't have the relevant and necessary information, especially upon moving to a new country. Please share some tips regarding legal services in the USA.

What types of legal services might an expat need in the USA?

Are legal services easily accessible?

What are the best ways to go about finding a professional for your legal needs in the USA? (e.g. online, yellow pages, word of mouth)?

What are the most affordable options for legal services (private, public, etc.)? Is there a range regarding fees?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Are Yellow Pages still around? Martindale.com is one of the better compilations of legal professionals including bios and cases and easily searchable.
Public services are available generally based on income. Most firms handle a load of pro-bono cases.
Unless there are skeletons coming out of the closet such as immigration violations what needs should an immigrant have that a citizen does not?
