What should I do if I want to change my attorney in the middle of the process?

Changing attorneys during the EB-5 process is possible, but it requires careful planning to protect your interests and keep the case in compliance with United States rules. A well-planned transition avoids disruptions that could affect the progress of your case.

A few steps help make this change safely:

• Review your contract with your current attorney, paying close attention to termination clauses, notice requirements, and any associated costs.
• Communicate your decision formally, preferably in writing, so you have a clear record of the notification.
• Request a complete copy of all documents and records in your case, as these are essential for your new attorney to continue without delays.

At the same time, research and select a new attorney or firm with proven experience in EB-5 and strong references. Maintain transparency throughout every step and be wary of guarantees of a specific outcome or misleading marketing claims.

Since every case has its own particularities, it is advisable to follow the official USCIS guidelines and ensure the transition occurs without gaps in your legal representation.
