There is absolutely no need for an immigration lawyer unless you just want to throw away your money.

Rob is correct that you really don't need an immigration lawyer when you are applying for the Temporary or Permanent Visa. The instructions are fairly straightforward. However, I found it comforting to hire someone. She confirmed that what I was doing was correct and helped me with the process. She even accompanied me to pick up the card in Mexico. (The first step is done at a Mexican embassy in your native country.) To top it off, the fee was more than reasonable. She charged me only MXN$1,000 pesos in the summer of 2021. I thought it was well worth it.
