Yes, you are correct. Most of reputable Canadian immigration
consulting firms are run by lawyers, have lawyers on staff or lawyers
on their disposal associated with their firms.
I want also to add that many immigration consultants in both US and
Canada have law degree but have chosen for various reasons (mostly
added flexibility) to provide consulting services, instead of legal
services. I often refer my American clients to such Canadian
consultants (2 of them regularly contributing their expertise in this
forum) knowing well that they will not only provide great consulting
service but also have the capacity to represent client in court if it
will ever be required.
Note to the person calling himself "aikido" and "Clint Eastwood":
- just because small fraction of drivers decide to drink and drive
doesn't mean that all drivers are drunk when driving. Same applies to
immigration consultants, lawyers, physicians, accountants or even
plumbers and other professionals providing service to the public.
