If an attorney fails to provide an adequate estimate of the amount of time that he will need to spend on representation, then an attorney and their client can get rather upset at each other. If an attorney reported his client applicant, then the attorney may be regulated and penalized by the State and Federal Government. The non-attorney does not understand how to properly interpret words in a law. The words are often interpreted by courts and legal memos, which are unaccessible and incomprehensible to anyone other than a legally trained professional. The non-attorney often neglects to provide sufficient evidence and may even fabricate evidence, which can result in deportation and criminal charges.
