About The Firm:

This fast-growing law firm is seeking an experienced immigration attorney to join its growing immigration department.

The immigration department has an established team of attorneys, paralegals, case managers, and support staff. The firm is adding another experienced attorney as the practice continues to grow and expand its legal team.

This position will focus on removal defense and Immigration Court litigation. The attorney should be able to take ownership of an individual hearing from beginning to end.

The attorney will also handle motions, legal research and writing, USCIS cases and interviews, waivers, appeals, and strategic case review.

Key Responsibilities:

• Independently handling Individual Hearings, Master Calendar Hearings, bond hearings, and other EOIR proceedings.

• Developing litigation strategy for asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, waivers, and other forms of relief.

• Preparing clients and witnesses thoroughly for testimony and cross-examination.

• Reviewing the evidentiary record and identifying gaps well before a hearing.

• Researching and drafting motions, briefs, legal memoranda, appeals, and other substantive filings.

• Handling complex questions of removability, admissibility, eligibility for relief, jurisdiction, criminal immigration consequences, and procedural issues.

• Representing clients at USCIS interviews, including AOS and asylum interviews and other matters requiring attorney attendance.

• Providing legal strategy and substantive guidance to paralegals and case managers.

• Reviewing attorney-level work product and ensuring cases are legally and strategically prepared.

• Consulting with other attorneys in the department on difficult or unusual cases.

• Maintaining ownership of deadlines, hearing preparation, and the quality of the legal work assigned to you.

For the right attorney, this is an opportunity to become one of the firm's trusted lawyers as they continue to grow.

Qualifications:

• An active license in good standing with a U.S. state bar.

• 5-10 years practicing U.S. immigration law.

• Experience representing respondents in removal proceedings before EOIR.

• Experience independently handling Individual Hearings.

• Strong knowledge of defensive asylum and other forms of relief from removal.

• Experience preparing clients and witnesses for contested hearings and testimony.

• Excellent legal research, writing, issue-spotting, and analytical skills.

• The ability to independently evaluate a case and develop a legal strategy rather than relying exclusively on templates or support staff.

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple hearings, deadlines, and complex matters simultaneously.

• Be able to work effectively with paralegals, case managers, attorneys, and other team members.

• A sense of ownership and accountability for clients and assigned matters.

• Professional fluency in English and Spanish (preferred).
