When DACA first started it proved the uselessness of lawyers about this process. However if ur lawyer is asking u to try it, it s worth it to at least ask him/her why? At this point the program has been in affect so long that im sure they know all the ins and outs, and all the loopholes they can use to help u get approved even if u otherwise wouldn't be. The problem with trusting a lawyer is that they are lawyers and are mostly concerned about money and not your well being. If u have documents (a bank account, mail, ANYTHING!) that is dated prior to June 15th, u could give it a go, cuz they really cant prove that u weren't here.

$465 is a lot of money, so be careful before u make a move. I sure do hope ur lawyer isn't just pulling ur leg, cuz DACA does make one feel liberated.
