That;s the danger. If they are giving advice that results in you submitting different answers that you otherwise would have, they are boarding on giving legal advice. It's all well and good when things work out, but when that advice goes wrong it can be very very bad for the client. That's why lawyers are licensed. These people are also handling lots of personal information that I hope would be covered by attorney-client privilege, but only if they are lawyers.



My wife also used SimpleCitizen, you can pay for a lawyer to green-light your paperwork before you file it. That's what we did.


Lots of lawyers are totally shit. I'm not sure the licensing is really a barrier to that.

Certainly this is the case with tax lawyers and reading through this thread there are quite a few instances with immigration lawyers.
