Job Summary

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.
