Reliable evaluation for EB1?

Multiple questions in this one so please bear with me - 1. I googled a bit online and found that the total cost of going down the EB1 path is between $10 to $14k. Wondering if it is worth it? 2. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a legal firm that they had a really good experience working with and that can also transparently and honestly help evaluating my case?

Google a little bit more. It could be much lesser than 10K-14K. Many lawyers have free evaluations. Try all of them and get an idea. If you are from backlogged countries it’s worth every penny

Do you have pointers?

Even I felt 10-14k was a bit much

Victoria Chen (wegreened.com) are widely regarded as the best firm (Google it, and look on the trackitt forums). They should also be a lot cheaper than your quote. I paid 5k for EB2-NIW (similar to EB1). If they are confident in your case (phd and publications totaling 500+ citations for example) they will likely give you a "refund if no success" guarantee
