Job description

Boutique Immigration Law Firm in Dallas and Houston Texas seeks a lead EB attorney who is ready to make an impact on the world as we work together to unite the world, one client one family at a time.

What we need:

• US license to practice law - the jurisdiction does not matter.
• A strong desire to help people change their lives and accomplish their goals.
• A commitment to excellence and honesty in your work.
• Strong consultation skills, tracking on close rate and lead quality metrics. Follow up on notes, emails, perform shadowing, debriefing with manager or owner.
• Accompany clients to interviews at the USCIS Field Office on occasion.
• Provide guidance and feedback to paralegal team and other support staff in the department.
• Validate and oversee the preparation of employment-based legal documents, including H-1B, L-1, TN, O, E1/2, F and B nonimmigrant petitions/applications and immigrant petition filings.
• Validate and oversee the preparation of PERM, I-140’s and green cards as well as visa applications, RFE/audit responses, motions to reopen, and appeals.
• Prepare briefs, cover letters with legal analysis and arguments, motions and immigration packets for submission, as needed.
• Review for quality, give feedback and sign immigration packets, motions and briefs.
• Support and train the Dallas and Houston offices.
• Keep abreast of the current changes in immigration law.
• Ability to grow EB Department in both Dallas and Houston offices.
• A desire to grow and learn.

What we offer:

Paid holidays, paid time off, access to health insurance, retirement savings plan with company match, firmwide monthly training, stipend towards CLE compliance, annual licensing fees, and more.

Compensation based on experience, with opportunities to receive bonus compensation for reaching individual and firm targets.

What we do not offer:

Crazy work hours - we strongly believe in work/life balance and encourage our team to leave it at the office at the end of the day.

Working hard to make rich people richer - we practice what we call the law of the people. Our purpose as a firm is to impact and change our clients' lives and help them reach their individual and family goals.

Overwhelming billable hours expectations - in fact, we don't bill time at all. We work together as a team to accomplish the financial targets we set as a firm. Almost every case we open is a fixed fee for a specific scope of work.

Exposure to other areas of law - we are committed to focusing the firm on immigration cases only.

What we prefer:

In our business, it helps if you are bilingual in English and Spanish. That said, we can accommodate those who do not speak Spanish with translation support.

If you are fluent in a language other than Spanish or English, we may be able to structure our marketing efforts to ensure the public is aware of that ability and provide opportunities for new clients and consultations in that language.
