Attorney/Lawyer

We are looking for an experienced immigration attorney to join a busy legal practice. This permanent role is suited to a lawyer who can independently manage a demanding caseload, guide clients through complex immigration matters, and represent them confidently in agency proceedings and court appearances. The position offers meaningful collaboration with senior attorneys while providing room to expand litigation capabilities, including work connected to federal court matters.

Responsibilities:
• Handle a broad range of immigration cases, including both proactive filings and defense-oriented matters, with responsibility for cases of varying complexity.
• Advise clients through consultations, evaluate case strategy, and communicate practical legal recommendations throughout the life of each matter.
• Advocate for clients before relevant immigration agencies, the Department of State, and in court proceedings when required.
• Appear at interviews, hearings, and other official proceedings, preparing clients thoroughly and representing their interests effectively.
• Review and direct the work of paralegals and support staff to ensure filings are accurate, complete, and submitted on time.
• Prepare persuasive legal documents such as case summaries, motions, memoranda, and appellate-style briefs for agency and court matters.
• Contribute to federal litigation efforts, including matters involving delayed adjudications, constitutional claims, and detention-related petitions, with increasing ownership over time.
• Partner with senior attorneys on legal research, case planning, and high-stakes immigration matters that require deeper analysis or litigation strategy.

Qualifications:

• Juris Doctor degree and an active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
• At least 5 years of immigration law experience, including substantial exposure to removal defense work.
• Demonstrated ability to manage an active caseload independently and consistently meet filing and court deadlines.
• Experience handling matters before key immigration agencies and representing clients in interviews and hearings.
• Strong legal writing and analytical skills, with the ability to draft motions, briefs, and other substantive filings.
• Prior experience supervising or reviewing the work of paralegals, legal assistants, or other support staff.
• Solid understanding of immigration statutes, procedural rules, and agency requirements.
• Federal court litigation experience, Spanish language skills, or familiarity with employment-based immigration matters are valued.
