I appreciate any suggestions on finding a competent and experienced immigration attorney to file for a finace
visa. I live in Seattle Wa. My fiance is a Costarican. I don't have the patience to follow the process nor the desire to do it without experienced support. I have known my girlfriend for over two years. She is in her 30's but I am more than 25 years older. She has a ten year tourist visa and has spent over ten months in the states over the last several years. Any thoughts on any advantages to get married first. Are there any reasons to only look for an attorney
in my area of the country. Thanks in advance.

There is really no compelling reason to hire an attorney in your local area, because most of the work can be done through phone/mail/FAX/e-mail. But if you can find a local attorney who suits your needs, that may be more convenient for you.
I would strongly recommend that you look only for members of AILA and shop around because the fees can vary widely. I would look for an attorney who charges a flat fee for the type of visa you are looking for, not an hourly rate.
Yes, there are some real advantages to getting married first and then applying for a spouse visa. It really comes down to a matter of personal preference for you and your bride.
I suggest that you start seriously investigating the various visa possibilities and the documentation requirements. The first thing an attorney will likely do is give you a list of documents to gather up yourself, so you would be wise to get started on that first.
If you need a list of documents, I can give you that if you would like.
