Answer 1

Typical costs [of Immigration lawyers]: An immigration attorney may charge an hourly rate of $100-$300 or a flat fee covering specific services.

Answer 2

Federal or Defense? Which State? There are many variables, while the federal prosecutors range from the 60k up to 120k a year for the defense lawyers things can vary a lot. A lawyer from Nebraska will not get as much money as a immigration lawyer from California, Texas or New York, since getting consistent work throughout the year can be rather difficult in a state right inside of the US on matters of immigration. A very broad estimate for defense would be 40k - 100k a year...
