Removal Defense Attorney (In-Person, Hybrid, or Fully Remote)

We're seeking an experienced Removal Defense Attorney to join our team in managing removal defense cases from strategy through hearing. You'll appear in immigration court, analyze case documentation, conduct legal research, draft filings, and work closely with our paralegal team on case strategy and call-ups. The ideal candidate has substantive removal defense experience, is comfortable in the courtroom, and has confident written and spoken Spanish since most of our clients are from across Latin America. We're looking for an attorney who thrives in the courtroom but also brings sharp instincts to the strategy and the writing: building the theory of a case, drafting strong written advocacy, and helping a paralegal understand why a particular argument matters. You're meticulous and organized, but you can shift gears without drama when a court development or a triage call comes in. You don't sweat the small stuff. You're independent and proactive, but you'd rather be part of a team than off on your own. You get genuinely energized by collaboration with clients and colleagues, and you see mentoring our paralegals as part of the work, not an interruption to it. There are no billable hour requirements. However, this role will require the ability to travel for court appearances and client matters across the country. Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school Proficiency in Spanish Admission to the state bar association Prior experience in removal defense cases Strong research and analytical skills Excellent written and verbal communication skills Ability to work effectively in a remote setting #J-18808-Ljbffr American Immigration Lawyers Association
