Hiring a Representative and Why I Do What I Do

I have often been asked why it is necessary to hire a representative to help in immigration matters. Often this question gets asked because my potential client is trying to decide why they should be hiring me and what I bring to the table. They also want to know why me and not a lawyer.

These questions are both easy and difficult. Broken down into components, we can say the client is trying to decide if he needs me at all. And if he decides he needs help, is it better to get a lawyer.
