Job description

Rivas & Associates is more than a law firm. We are a mission-driven team committed to making a real difference in people's lives. Our focus is on delivering top-tier legal services with compassion, clarity, and respect. As we continue to grow, we are looking for passionate professionals who want to be part of something bigger — a collaborative, fast-paced environment where your work has purpose and your ideas matter. Join us in helping clients navigate life-changing legal moments with confidence and care.

Job Overview

As our firm continues to grow, we are expanding our legal team and seeking a Production Associate Attorney to join us. This attorney will handle the majority of our affirmative immigration caseload — from family-based petitions and green card renewals to citizenship applications, humanitarian relief, and consular processing.

We're looking for a dedicated, detail-oriented attorney who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is comfortable researching independently, isn't afraid to ask for help when needed, and is deeply committed to delivering efficient, high-quality service to our clients. If you're ready to grow with us and make an impact, we'd love to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a caseload of affirmative matters, including I-130 petitions, family-based adjustment of status, I-90 green card renewals, N-400 citizenship applications, humanitarian-based cases (VAWA, T visas, U visas), and I-751 removal of conditions.
• Conduct a thorough initial review of each case shortly after the contract is signed, identifying potential issues based on the facts presented and providing the team with a clear, well-documented list of evidence needed to move the case forward.
• Review affirmative and consular packets prior to submission, provide detailed feedback, and approve them for filing.
• Meet with clients as needed — primarily via Zoom or phone, and in person when applicable — to answer questions and address concerns throughout the case.
• Provide guidance and strategic direction to paralegals and other team members on casework, escalating questions as needed.
• Coordinate with attorneys in other departments on cases with litigation or removal defense components, advising on how developments in one matter may affect another.
• Conduct high-level review and analysis of criminal history and its potential impact on immigration relief.
• Draft legal arguments and filings as required.
• Train and mentor paralegals, junior paralegals, and assistants to foster professional growth and enhance team performance.
• Provide support to other departments as needed when attorneys are unavailable.

Required Qualifications

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.
• Active bar license, in good standing.
• Prior experience in immigration law is essential; experience with affirmative filings (family-based petitions, naturalization, humanitarian relief, or consular processing) strongly preferred.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to maintain a high standard of accuracy across a high-volume caseload.
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple cases and deadlines simultaneously.
• Comfortable conducting independent legal research, while also knowing when to ask for help or escalate a question.
• Strong communication and leadership skills, including experience providing guidance to paralegals or junior team members.
• Team-oriented, adaptable, and able to adjust to the frequent changes in immigration law and policy.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• While not required, speaking Spanish is a bonus.
• In-office presence is preferred for this role. A relocation bonus is available to candidates who choose to relocate to Tulsa, OK or Oklahoma City, OK to work in-office.

A background check is required for this position.

Candidates must have legal authorization to work in the United States. Employment eligibility will be verified through E-Verify.
