Organizations like the American Bar Association have gladly accepted the concept although this practice is still controversial in some segments of the legal fraternity. A person can find names of immigration lawyers specializing in immigration law in the Internet yellow pages. Alternatively, state Bar Associations can also provide referrals. The INS employees at the local office may also assist immigrants.
