An associate was hired in a foreign country and the first lawyer got a 'no' from immigration; the second lawyer got it all done and friend in new job within weeks; both lawyer fees were the same, different results!

This wasn’t the easiest video to watch as a lawyer myself. I must admit my response times could sometimes be improved, but when you are very busy you have to prioritise results. For commercial reasons we avoid instructions which we think could be too much trouble, (if a lawyer has suddenly refunded you this may be the reason). The clients that get the most attention are usually the ones that don’t try to knock down the price too much and pay on time.

My 20c (about Brazil): depending on what you need, it is sometimes better (and more cost effective) to hire the services of a "despachante"(kind of a "multifunction agent") who can answer to certain demands more promptly and/or unlock certain doors for a fraction of the cost...

SO TRUE. Re legal fees, often times when the lawyer (anywhere, including the U.S.) knows your assets and net worth, their legal fees will go skyrocketing endlessly! And some immigration lawyers are BS, seriously!

I was referred to my cpa by a local investment company and have used them for years. This year they filed my taxed in May and showed a significant amount I overpaid. I finally got a letter from the IRS 2 weeks ago saying my refund was only $46 due to an error on my tax return, saying I could live with the $46 or risk an audit. My coa office has not responded to my inquiry about their mistake; I'm out over $1100 and nobody to represent me. My experience with lawyers is even worse; I find them and their staff to be generally rude and unresponsive at least regarding my divorce

Some law firms are just sellers of their products residency/companyFormation/bankAccounts etc. while some tax optimization are available in country you live . They will never tell you about "simplier" cheaper solution because at end you won't pay them as much as for their products and "solutions" they even may don't know about it. So choose wisely and try few. PS: Even with simpler solution is worth have plan B.

.....make sure you read the terms of engagement line by line and think VERY carefully what they each mean separately and as a whole. Negotiate the term to your own satisfactions WITH the costs. They are linked and they are a key balance between risk and reward. A large company/ wealthy individual can do this with considerable leverage but for local low fee work you have limited scope.

Lawyers are not guarantors of results - they are bound to give sound legal advice/opinions to the client, and the client will then have the last say whether to proceed or not. It's not about covering their butts or anything - its about giving the client the big picture (in a legal perspective) of a particular scenario. Nevertheless, it does not discount the fact though that some law firms do intentionally say to "not blame them" when something does not work because of a "bad experience" with a prior client. Good video by the way, keep it up. Cheers!
