NYCwife: I wanted to recommed my attorney. I hired him after making mistakes handling it myself. I thought that he was as knowledgable and congenial as a lawyer can be.
I just wanted to clarify that I am using Allan Kaye and he is good, but he is not experienced with, and not doing our I-601. I made the mistake of filing as if I could AOS in country and he is on retainer in case my husband is picked up for deportation, which is a possibility because of how we filed. He already has an "administrative" deportation, but we'd still have to go through proceedings if he is picked up. We must have someone local if he is placed in deportation proceedings.
We are currently trying to save money to hire Laurel Scott to do it. I have yet to find an attorney experienced in indamissability waivers that is local. They may be good attorneys, but know little, if anything, about the burden for proving extreme hardship with the I-601, and apparently little, to no experience with CDJ.

He is board certified and has a list of awards/accomplishments as they are all listed on his site.We got approved through him. Hired him on from start to end of the whole process. Really great.
Immigration lawyers recommended by Laurel Scott:
Ok, I'm going to give a starter list. I'm only listing attorneys that I've had personal interaction with or whose work I've had an opportunity to review or observe and who I'm convinced are competent and experienced. I'm not just going by reputation or social relationships. Not all of my attorney friends are on this list and not everyone that I think might be good is on this list. For example, I didn't list Carl Shusterman even though he has a fabulous reputation. I simply haven't seen his work or interacted with him professionally. I'm also sure I've left people off. I will add as I remember.
I've put a "*" next to attorneys who have advised me on a case or taught me something I didn't know.
