It all depends from case circumstances and how well you know the process.
For many with clear cases in Family class hiring immigration professional
may not be necessary, while for some it may be critical - just ask those who
appeal every day refusal decisions in Family class what they think now about
their decision of doing everything on their own. But again - each case is
unique and there is no simple answer to your question.
