Does a consultation create a lawyer-client relationship?
A consultation does not automatically create a solicitor-client relationship. A retainer and the firm's acceptance of the matter are required according to the circumstances and professional obligations.
Can Mechi Law guarantee an immigration approval?
No. Immigration decisions are made by the relevant government authorities. No responsible legal professional can guarantee a particular immigration outcome.
Should I wait until I receive a refusal before getting legal advice?
Not necessarily. Early advice can help identify eligibility issues, evidence gaps, deadlines and procedural risks before a decision is made.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring identification and status documents where relevant, important correspondence, deadlines, prior applications or decisions, and a concise timeline of events. Do not email highly sensitive documents unless the firm provides a secure method.
Can I use information on this website as legal advice?
No. Website content is general information and may not reflect changes in law, policy or your personal circumstances. Obtain advice specific to your matter.
