Removal Defense Immigration Attorney

Protouch Staffing

Removal Defense Immigration Attorney

We are seeking a motivated and compassionate attorney who is passionate about justice, committed to advocacy excellence, and driven to make a lasting difference in clients' lives.

The attorney will represent clients in removal and deportation proceedings before Immigration Courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals, handling cases involving cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding of removal, and bond hearings. The role involves working with both detained and non-detained clients and serving as a skilled advocate at every stage of their case.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Represent both detained and non-detained clients in immigration removal proceedings, including cases related to cancellation of removal, asylum, and bond hearings.
  • Conduct legal research, draft motions, and engage in courtroom advocacy.
  • Implement department policies and procedures to improve operational efficiency and service quality.
  • Maintain communication with clients from diverse backgrounds, ensuring compassionate and effective representation.
  • Regular travel to jails, immigration courts, and detention centers in Central Texas to support client representation.

Qualifications:

  • MUST BE BILINGUAL IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
  • 1-5 years of experience as an immigration attorney with a focus on removal defense.
  • JD degree from an accredited law school with an active license to practice law in any U.S. state; Texas Bar preferred but not required.
  • Strong legal writing, research, and oral advocacy skills, and the ability to manage a high-volume, fast-paced environment.
  • Direct EOIR courtroom experience required, with demonstrated ability to manage cases independently from intake through hearing.
  • Valid driver's license for necessary travel within Central Texas.

Preferred experience:

  • Prior experience handling cases with criminal history intersections or complex relief applications (e.g., asylum, CAT, withholding) is a plus.
  • Experience with VAWA, U-visa, or other humanitarian relief forms is a plus.

Location & Work Arrangement:

  • Austin, TX - Hybrid, 60% in office / 40% remote
  • San Antonio, TX - Hybrid, 60% in office / 40% remote
