Associate Immigration Attorney
Summary/Objective
A client-centric immigration law firm is looking for its next all-star attorney. We are a fast-paced, rapidly growing law firm looking for an extremely creative advocate to help continue our life-changing work. A strong candidate will be extremely compassionate for immigrants and dedicated to providing results to our clients. Our attorneys are always the first to offer a solution and the last to leave the fight. The position requires motivation, dedication, resiliency and constant improvement to match the law firm's culture. If this sounds like you, we are eager to speak with you!
We are interested in all experience levels as we have a few roles to fulfill in our growing firm. We currently have offices in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Irving, McAllen, Austin, and Phoenix, and we will soon expand to additional offices in other states. This position is for remote working. Residing near one of our current office locations is a plus but not a requirement. This position will require some travel as we represent clients before USCIS and EOIR in all states. Speaking Spanish fluently is a plus; but preferred.
The perfect candidate will be a highly motivated individual with a passion for advocacy for the immigrant community. Our firm provides highly client-centered representation and requires a patient, efficient, thorough, and creative attorney willing to represent our clients as they would a loved one.
