I often get
asked if someone needs to hire an
attorney to help them file for Asylum
and the honest answer is no you don’t
need an attorney to help you file for
Asylum frankly there’s only a few things
in life that we need whether it’s food
or water or oxygen you name
it however if the question is should I
hire an attorney to help me with my
Asylum application would it be a good
idea for me to work with a an
experienced professional to help me with
the process then the answer is
unequivocally yes I’ll give you an
example it may be a simple example but
hopefully it’ll res
I ride a
motorcycle um she’s my baby it’s a
Harley-Davidson
883 Harley-Davidson
Sportster now I can and used to in a
previous life change its oil
myself as I’ve grown older and wiser
I’ve come to appreciate this machine for
what it is to me and so even though I
can perform some of the maintenance
myself because I care so deeply about it
I tend to go and take it to a
Harley-Davidson dealer for them to do
the work now if an inanimate object such
as a motorcycle is as important to me
imagine how much more important your
life is to you and so when filing for
Asylum you have the potential to set the
trajectory of the rest of your
life and so for me it’s a no-brainer of
course I will work with a professional
but I will say that every applicant has
to do an honest risk tolerance
assessment if they are risk averse they
will work with a professional if they
are risk-loving
or quite frankly financially strapped
they may make the difficult decision of
filing themselves regardless it is
important to have an honest conversation
about with yourself to come up with a
decision that sits well with you
