Job description

Removal, family, and humanitarian immigration law firm seeks an extremely knowledgeable attorney to analyze intakes and explain options. (Client contact is limited to the initial call.)

(We pay 1.5x for evenings and weekends.)

Responsibilities:

1. Review intakes to spot any/all options for relief.
2. Give rough estimates of the chances of success for each option.
3. Provide your professional recommendation for the next course of action.
4. Explain your recommendation in layman's terms.
5. Communicate with clients in a friendly, accurate way, following the firm's communication policies.

Qualifications:

1. Native or near-native Spanish fluency. (Sorry, this isn’t negotiable).
2. Solid ability to issue spots for all types of removal, family, and humanitarian immigration cases, and ability to quickly research to verify eligibility.
3. Remain up-to-date on changes in immigration law and policy.

Compensation:

$60 - $80 hourly
