Immigration Paralegal

Change Lives. Build Relationships. Earn Big.

At Solano Law Firm, we're not just helping clients file paperwork—we're helping families create a better future.

As a Consultation Specialist, you'll be one of the most important people in a client's journey. You'll meet with prospective clients, learn their stories, help them understand their options, and guide them toward taking the next step in their immigration case.

This role is perfect for someone who loves connecting with people, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and enjoys the challenge of turning conversations into meaningful outcomes. Every day is different, every client has a unique story, and every successful consultation has the potential to change a family's future.

Bilingual Requirement: Fluency in both English and Spanish is required. The majority of clients are Spanish-speaking immigrants and their families. Consultation Specialists must be able to confidently conduct consultations, build relationships, explain processes, answer questions, and communicate professionally in both English and Spanish without the assistance of a translator.

If you're not fully fluent in both languages, this position will not be the right fit.

What You'll Do

• Conduct immigration consultations with prospective clients
• Build trust and rapport with individuals and families seeking legal help
• Ask thoughtful questions to uncover needs and identify opportunities for legal review
• Educate clients on the firm's process and potential pathways under attorney supervision
• Handle questions and objections with confidence and professionalism
• Follow up with prospective clients and guide them through the decision-making process
• Deliver a high-touch, white-glove client experience from start to finish
• Partner closely with attorneys and legal staff to ensure clients receive the support they need

What Makes Someone Successful Here?

This is  not  a call center role.

Our best Consultation Specialists combine:

• Empathy with confidence
• Structure with warmth
• Sales ability with integrity
• Curiosity with strong listening skills
• The ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures
• A genuine desire to help families navigate important life decisions

Important Note: You will not provide legal advice or represent yourself as an attorney. Your role is to gather information, educate clients about the firm's process, identify opportunities for attorney review, and help qualified prospects move forward with representation.
