How Much Does a UK/US Immigration Lawyer Actually Cost?

Real, sourced figures — not a guess — so you know what you're actually comparing against. This is preparation guidance, not legal advice.

UK — real solicitor fees for Global Talent

Full representation from a UK solicitor typically runs £3,000–£8,000+, depending on complexity and firm.

US — real attorney fees for O-1

Full-service O-1 representation from a US immigration attorney typically runs $3,000–$15,000+ — some flat-fee firms include a real attorney for around $8,000.

What you're actually paying for with a lawyer

• Legal judgment on your specific case.
• Someone who can represent you if something goes wrong.
• Direct liability and accountability for the advice given.

What document-preparation tools (like this one) do instead

Help you organise real evidence you already have, clearly and thoroughly — without legal advice, without representation, and without that liability. A meaningfully different, and meaningfully cheaper, service — not a replacement for a lawyer in every situation.
