Not all immigration leads are equal. Some waste your time — others lead to real, paying clients. Knowing the difference is critical. This guide breaks down what makes an immigration lead valuable, how Dos screens for quality, and what to expect when responding to client inquiries through the platform.
An immigration lead is a prospective client seeking help with a legal matter tied to their immigration status. Common case types include:
But what really matters is intent — does the person need help now, and are they prepared to work with a lawyer?
Many lead platforms underdeliver because:
This often results in wasted time, low close rates, and frustration.
Dos is built for lawyers. All immigration leads go through a human verification process where we screen for:
You only receive leads that match your chosen filters.
When a lead is submitted, up to three lawyers can be matched and allowed to respond — but only the first to make contact often secures the hire. If a client doesn’t engage with any of the initial matches, the lead may be made available for exclusive contact.
You can control how many leads you receive, where they come from, and what types of cases you want.
Check your email often: We notify you as soon as a new lead is available. Calling immediately increases your chance of being hired — the client likely has their phone in hand and hasn’t spoken to another lawyer yet. You can adjust client settings to manage email volume.
Call first: It shows initiative and helps build trust from the outset. Most clients respond best to phone calls.
Follow up proactively: If they don’t answer, follow up by text and email. Many clients are busy and appreciate flexibility.
Be persistent: Make up to five contact attempts. A polite, professional approach shows reliability and keeps you top of mind.
Strong immigration leads aren’t about volume — they’re about quality, timing, and how you respond. Dos gives you access to pre-verified clients with real legal needs and the flexibility to work the way you want — whether that’s competing for attention or securing an exclusive engagement.
