Consultation Process Explained: The Ins and Outs of a Consultation Part 2

Here's another in-depth discussion with Attorney Garry Davis on the first episode of Immigration Nation Podcast, as he shares valuable insights and practical tips on the consultation process, rights, options, and real-life cases.
----------------------------------------------------------
What would a consultation in general, what would that look like? Like what's the process? What happens at the beginning? What happens at the end? Well, I mean, there's got to be kind of an intake process that happens
so that we understand what the issue is so that we can try to tailor our advise to fit into that scenario, whatever it is. We got to get the information first, and then it's the attorneys job to basically break down that scenario, to then help that person that's consulting with them, understand if it's a good consultation, it's going to be help you understand what your options are, help you understand the pros, cons, costs, process for each of those option, and then why we would recommend one over the other. And then if, the most important one, I think is that if it turns out that someone really doesn't have an option, a good consultation is going to end with an explanation about why so frequently people are told, ‘look, you don't have any options, get out of my office.’ And I think that's a miss because I think they have a right because they took their time to come into the attorney's office. They have a right to understand why it is what is it about their situation or the law that makes it so that they don't have an option. And it is just being a good person, not just being a good lawyer, but being a good person to share that information with them so that they understand. And frequently when I've got somebody that comes in clearly desperate for an option and I give them the bad news that there isn't an option, which happens sometimes I will literally go print out the statute, the law that makes it so, highlight it for them. I teach it to them. This is what it says. This is how it applies. This is why you fit in. And then I also encourage them because I know they're desperate for an option. When you go see the next guy who's not going to be honest with you, make sure that you show them this law and ask them how they're going to get past that. Make them
address it, because that way, you know that they're aware that you got the issue. And if they have a good answer for you and you're comfortable with it. Okay. But I mean, the truth is it's probably not. And I don't want people to get taken advantage of. But then the follow up question needs to be why. The person has a right, I think as someone that has come into that office, spend their time or their money or both to come into the office and have a conversation. They need to be able to understand by the time they leave why it is that that's the answer. Not just that that's the answer. It's not good enough. They need to know why.
