Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer to Register in the Lottery?

By Jennifer McFadyen, About.com

Question: Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer to Register in the Lottery?
Answer: No. You are not required to hire a lawyer, consultant, or any other individual to assist you with registration. You may complete and submit the application on your own, for free. If, however, you do not feel confident completing the application on your own, you might want to consult with an immigration attorney who has experience with green card lottery applications, immigration consultant, or obtain other legal advice.
