Immigration lawyers represent people who are not born in the United States but are trying to maintain a permanent residence in the country. Immigration law is quite complex and if you are trying to become a U.S. permanent resident or a U.S. citizen, it's a good idea to consult or hire an attorney. It's especially important to consult with an attorney if you are facing arrest or deportment because of an immigration issue.
