Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Do you offer a free consultation?

We offer free consultations for individuals who are seeking guidance on applying for an immigration benefit and have not yet filed their case.

If you have a pending or recently denied case—whether you filed on your own or through a third party—and would like our office to review or advise on that matter, a consultation fee of $150 will apply. This fee reflects the time and legal analysis required to properly evaluate an existing case.

Payment of the consultation fee is required in advance to schedule the appointment.

Please note that our office does not provide document review services for self-prepared applications. If you have already filed on your own, we are happy to discuss your case, options, and potential next steps, but we do not review, edit, or revise previously prepared applications.

Cancellation & No-Show Policy

We understand that schedules can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we ask that you notify our office at least 24 hours in advance.

  • Appointments cancelled with at least 24 hours’ notice may be rescheduled or
    refunded.
  • No-shows or cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are non-refundable.


This policy allows us to respect our attorneys’ time and remain available to other clients in need of assistance.

Every case is different. Immigration cases take time—but understanding the process can make that time easier to manage. The key is preparation, patience, and having a clear plan.

If you would like a more specific estimate based on your situation, a consultation is the best place to start.

At Heflin Law, we offer affordable and flexible payment plans for most cases we handle. It is important to consider that you are not just paying for paperwork—you are paying for legal judgment, strategy, and risk management. Hiring an attorney is an investment—but it is also a form of protection.

The question is not just “Can I afford an attorney?”

It is also “Can I afford the risk of going forward without the right guidance?”

A consultation can help you:

  • Understand your options
  • Identify any risks
  • Decide whether legal representation is worth it for your case
