While I'll agree that an immigration attorney can be very useful when trying to get someone into the US, there doesn't seem to be the same reliance on attorneys for immigration matters elsewhere. In fact, in some countries, bringing in "the big guns" for what is supposed to be a "simple" administrative matter can actually trip you up. (I almost had this happen with my immigration problems in France - fortunately the turkey we had hired failed to show up at the hearing, saving me a rather large bill.)
It pays to check out the local customs before jumping immediately to legal representation.
