About Us

Brown Immigration Law is a national immigration practice devoted entirely and exclusively to the practice of U.S. immigration law. We are dedicated, driven and passionate about our practice and pride ourselves on practicing in all areas of U.S. immigration law, with our work range including our employment, family and litigation groups. We started with a single office over two decades ago and now have five offices nationwide, including two in Florida (Orlando and Tampa), two in Ohio (Cleveland and Columbus) and one in North Carolina (Raleigh‑Durham). Our attorneys are diverse, experienced and extremely collaborative between offices, which makes us a unique firm that prides itself on finding solutions and achieving results for our clients. Our Columbus office is located near Upper Arlington and features a multilingual staff interested in creativity, achievement and ensuring successful outcomes for our clientele.

Your Mission

Get ready to work directly with clients from all walks of life helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate their immigration journeys. You’ll play a vital role in processing visas, handling green card filings, guiding individuals through the naturalization process, and representing clients in immigration court. You will have the opportunity to work directly with employers, large and small, as well as families, and individuals. Interested in litigation? You will have the opportunity to challenge the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and practice before the Executive Office of Immigration Review and the Board of Immigration Appeals, through oral arguments, brief writing and trials. You’ll team up with our skilled Partners, Lead Attorneys, and support staff to transform lives by helping clients gain citizenship, reunite with their families, or avoid deportation.

What We’re Looking For

• Is a natural problem solver with a can‑do attitude.
• Is not afraid to tackle unusual fact patterns or an ever‑changing legal landscape.
• Is passionate about advocacy.
• Is not afraid of interacting with an eclectic and diverse client base.
• Is able to communicate effectively and work independently in a fast‑paced, diverse, and dynamic environment.
• Is not just looking for a job, but is ready for a career.
• Is organized and ready to take on new challenges.

The Essentials

• JD Degree from an accredited law school (or equivalent).
• Bar Licensure allowing the practice of law in any state.

Spanish or other foreign language skills? Not a requirement, but certainly a big plus! We have a huge and diverse clientele that speak any number of languages, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Creole, among others. The ability to speak with a client in their own language is a significant benefit but is certainly not mandatory.

Perks

• Competitive salaries with potential for annual raises and discretionary bonuses, as well as earned compensation based upon client development.
• 401(k) and matching options.
• Flexible Health and Dental insurance.
• Health Savings Account.
• Generous Paid Time Off policy.
• Team outings, social events, 5K runs and office parties.

Compensation

We offer competitive compensation that reflects your experience and dedication. At Brown Immigration Law, we value and reward the unique expertise each attorney brings to our team. We also want our attorneys to grow and become leaders within our firm and encourage them to grow their individual practices, which in turn provides avenues for increased compensation. We don’t hide the ball when it comes to growing within our firm and aim for all of our attorneys to become subject‑matter experts in the field, through their writings, and speaking engagements.
