Job description

Bilingual Associate Attorney (Spanish/English) — Immigration

Greater Cincinnati, OH | Full-Time | In-Office | $72,000–$104,000

Posted by Protem Legal, recruiting partner for the Firm

Your Spanish isn’t a “nice to have” here. It’s the heart of the job. You’ll sit across from clients, explain their options in the language they think in, and then stand up for them in immigration court.

Protem Legal, on behalf of a respected, client-focused Greater Cincinnati firm that represents individuals and families, is currently seeking a bilingual associate attorney. The practice centers on immigration, from family-based cases and humanitarian applications to removal defense. You’ll work directly with clients from the first interview to the final hearing.

New lawyers are welcome. Immigration experience helps, but it isn’t required. If you’re eager to learn and want to build a practice that matters to the people you serve, the Firm wants to hear from you.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Direct client contact and hands-on courtroom and advocacy experience
• Billable-hour targets under 1,400 a year, set by experience level
• The chance to earn monthly performance bonuses on top of base salary
• Licensing dues, eligible bar memberships, and CLE paid by the Firm
• A collaborative team of partners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants behind you
• Guidance and support as you build your skills and manage your caseload

What You’ll Do

• Handle immigration matters: family-based petitions, humanitarian applications, removal defense, and more as your experience grows
• Interview clients, evaluate their cases, and explain their options and what to expect

  What You Bring

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Active Ohio law license, or eligibility and willingness to obtain Ohio admission
  • Fluent spoken and written Spanish and English

  • The ability to juggle multiple cases and deadlines as part of a team
  • Sound judgment, professionalism, and a commitment to ethical practice

  Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary of $72,000–$104,000, based on experience
  • Potential monthly performance bonuses
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Medical insurance with a company-sponsored HSA, plus dental, vision, and life insurance
