Confused

I have been applying for a H-1B visa for a potential employee of mine.
I recently got the notice that the petition is denied. The notice said
that I can appeal to the decision.

What is the chance for the appeal to have a favorable outcome? Should
I hire a lawyer? I did the petition myself and from the looks of the
notice, the immigration office did not read the documents I submit
entirely. The reason for the denial is for some evidence that they
claim I did not supply (which I clearly stated and supplied).

What do you think?

Yes you definately should have a Lawyer , i know it will cost a lot ,
but it's well worth it . The Lawyer is good on two counts , he/she will
know the EXACT forms to fill in and WHAT to fill in . The Authorities
are much less inclined to refuse a Lawyer as they can be evil if push
comes to shove . You always need a Lawyer when dealing with these
people .
