Lawyers, para-legals or quasi-legals are not required to prep your fiance visa applications. If you can do your tax returns, you can roll you own application under typical circumstances. Save yourself up to ~$2000 for a few hours of work.
Remember that 95% of the work is getting the supporting documents together. Only the you can assemble a set of supporting documents. Consequently, regardless of what route you decide, you are still responsible for doing 95% of the work. Go the extra 5% and save big!
