Apply H4 with lawyer or by ourselves? My lawyer took care of my H1B, green card cases. Do I need to apply H4 for my wife through my lawyer? What is the advantage of using lawyer with H4 application. Can I apply it by myself? Is there any H4 application checklist around? Thank you.
 
BTW, my wife is out of US right. She came here and went back half year ago with visitor visa.

If you are on valid H1 status and your wife is out of US then she can get H4 visa stamp from US consulate. Lawyer is not needed for getting H4 visa stamp from US consulate or US embassy. If the case is complicated then only you need the help of lawyer.
 
My friend was recently layed off and lost his H1B status. To remain in status, he applied for H4 based on his wife's H1B. He prepared and filed his H4 application just by following the instructions in the form. He did call the attorney who had prepared his H1B filing but she just reassured him that it's a simple application. So I don't think that the attorney would be of much advantage for H4. If you still want to talk to a lawyer, I can recommend what I'm using for my immigration matters - the legal plan at bestimmigrationlawyers.com. The consultations are unlimited and you will not "break the bank" for such an easy application.
