Job description

Position: Bilingual Immigration Associate Attorney

Job Type: Full Time - Onsite

We're a fast-growing, technology-driven immigration boutique in Old Town Alexandria, serving families in Immigration Court and before USCIS. We're hiring a mid-level associate who wants real ownership of their cases, their clients and their strategy, and a voice in where the firm goes next.

What sets this role apart:

• Ownership from day one. You run your own caseload, client relationships and case strategy, backed by a firm that invests in doing it right.
• A seat at the table. You'll work directly with the founding partners and help shape the firm as it grows.
• Technology that protects your time. Clients get automatic case updates, so your hours go to legal judgment, not status calls.
• Retirement benefits almost no immigration firm offers. These include a firm-funded pension, profit sharing and a 401(k) match (details below).
• A beautiful Old Town office. It's one of the best buildings in Alexandria, just minutes from the Annandale and Sterling immigration courts.

What you'll do:

• Independently manage a full caseload of removal defense and USCIS matters, from intake to resolution.
• Appear at Master Calendar, bond and Individual (merits) hearings.
• Prepare and present cases for asylum, withholding and CAT; cancellation of removal; U visas, T visas, VAWA and SIJS; TPS; adjustment of status; waivers; and family-based petitions.
• Draft briefs, motions to reopen and reconsider, declarations and evidence packets.
• Meet with clients in Spanish and English, and explain high-stakes options clearly and compassionately.

What you bring

• A law license in good standing in any U.S. state.
• Full fluency in Spanish and English, spoken and written. Most of our clients prefer Spanish.
• 2-5+ years of family-based and humanitarian immigration practice preferred, with substantial Immigration Court experience, including bond and Individual Hearings you've handled yourself. This is a removal-defense practice, not business immigration.
• A reputation colleagues and clients recognize: the attorney people ask for by name.
• Steady judgment under pressure.
• Retirement (after one year of service)
• Cash balance pension: 100% firm-funded with a guaranteed 5% annual return. It fully vests after three years.
• Profit sharing: Up to 25% of your salary when the firm does well.
• 401(k) match: The firm matches up to 5% of your salary (100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 4%).
• Health: Kaiser Permanente coverage starting after 30 days for $50 per paycheck. Your spouse and children are covered at no extra cost.
• Time off: 15 days of PTO, plus unlimited sick leave with the option to work remotely when you're sick. You also get every federal holiday, Christmas Eve and the Friday after Thanksgiving.
