I think David Cohen is very good immigration lawyer, we contacted him to represent our case but he didn't feel we have strong chances to get through so simply refused. We asked him many questions about our work experience, education, travel history etc. and he was very kind to reply them for free. He did not accept our case becasue there is a loophole in that so I think this prove his worth, he is not after money of his clients rather he wants to keep his record clean and successful. He claims to have 98% success rate.
I learnt from some other members of this forum that he is helpful and his services are good. This is my opinion about him, lets other write something about him, it will surely help you make your mind.
is there any specific reason why you want to hire a lawyer?
i do not think you need a representative unless you have a complicated case. Practically, they are of little use, nothing that you could not have done alone. believe me!
Practically abhi_hola is right because if your case is straight forward then you don't need to hrie a lawyer besides if you don't have time to read the instructions given on CIC website, forms, user guides then probably it's worth to hire one else you can get through easily. Moreover this forum is very useful platform to understand the basic technicalities of immigration process.
unfortunately I do not remember the name of members who have hired David Cohen, sorry.
Why don't you start a thread for who have hired David Cohen as their immigration lawyer? this could be a good way to find them.
Check his qualifications, if he is a registered lawyer , he might just be fine. The need of a representative is individual responsibility, there might be more to the need of a representative than just filing the application form. For instance if your address is bound to change often or you reside in a country that postal stuff can be disastrous, I will advice you to think twice especially if you've got the muscle to hire one. More importantly, he might have one or two advices for you while in Canada
