Job Description

Remote Position!

Our quickly growing Immigration Law Firm is looking to hire a Mid-Level Associate Immigration Attorney.

Are you passionate about serving immigrants?

With our primary office located two hours south of Portland, Oregon, we have a growing staff of remote employees, most even located in other countries! We serve immigrants around the world and across the nation.

We are looking for an experienced immigration attorney to review petitions and represent clients before USCIS, EOIR, BIA, and the Ninth Circuit. The right candidate will have a minimum of three years of experience handling all types of family and humanitarian petitions and removal defense. They will have the ability to review forms online to find the smallest error. They will ideally be able to communicate directly with clients in Spanish orally and in writing.

Living in or close to the Portland metropolitan area is important because this position ideally would require regular in-person representation of clients at USCIS and EOIR in downtown Portland, Oregon. However, we are also looking for attorneys who could be located anywhere in the world. Bar licensure in Oregon is preferred but not required.

We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running. Skills and experience are required and valued, but attitude, character, personality, and integrity are also important. The ideal candidate will have a growth mindset, an ability to relate to people in crisis, and a good sense of humor.

This is a full-time, salaried position (32 hours per week). After 90 days, the position is eligible for health insurance, a matching 401(k), three weeks of paid time off plus ten paid holidays annually. After a year of successful performance, the right candidate is eligible for unlimited PTO.

Does this sound like you?

We seek exceptional people who want to become part of our team. To us, the word “team” means we win together, and we lose together, so your contributions to our overall profitability and reaching our goals include anticipating problems, proposing solutions, and just generally demonstrating that you are ready to join us through thick and thin. Your contributions will be recognized, appreciated, and rewarded. If you are motivated by overcoming challenges and personal, professional, and financial growth, then this could be the right place for you.

We will contact you within 10 days if you qualify for the second round of consideration.

We look forward to hearing more about you.
