Yes. Messersmith Law Firm provides document review services for a separate fee. Document review is not included in our standard consultation fees, and we do not offer free document reviews.

Prospective clients may provide copies of their relevant documents and a list of questions, as instructed by our office, so we can determine the scope of the review and provide a fee quote.

Clients can choose between two services: document review followed by a phone consultation to discuss our findings and potential legal options, or document review followed by a written legal evaluation addressing the documents, questions, and available legal options. We provide the applicable fee before beginning the review.

We charge flat fees for all immigration matters. We do not bill clients at hourly rates or handle cases on a contingency fee basis. The fee depends on the nature and complexity of the case. Before representation begins, we explain the scope of the legal services and the applicable flat fee.

Many immigration matters can be handled remotely through telephone consultations and electronic communication, although certain proceedings or circumstances may require additional arrangements.

No. Submitting an inquiry, providing documents, or requesting a consultation does not automatically establish an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only after the firm agrees to accept the matter and the necessary engagement agreement has been completed. Until then, prospective clients should continue to protect their legal rights and comply with applicable deadlines.
