Associate Attorney

Wilner and O'Reilly Immigration Lawyers

THE FIRM

California's premier immigration firm led by a certified specialist and a founding partner who is a former U.S. Immigration Officer. We know how it works on both sides. Fearless representation. A team that picks up the phone. This is where careers are built not just jobs.

COSTA MESA OFFICE:

Join a team embedded in one of SoCal's most vibrant legal markets. Close to EOIR, close to the action.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • J.D. and active California bar membership in good standing
  • Minimum 1 year of experience concentrated in removal defense you know the inside of an immigration courtroom
  • Spanish fluency is required you must be able to advocate for and communicate directly with your clients
  • You are not scared of court. Oral advocacy isn't a burden to you it's the whole point
  • You bring genuine energy and charisma. Our clients need a champion. Be that person
  • Strong written and oral communication motions, briefs, and in-person arguments all count
  • Organized, responsive, and accountable. When a client calls, their life is on the line
THE ROLE
  • You will step into immigration court and fight. Your job is to advocate loudly and clearly for clients whose lives depend on it. This is not a paper-pushing position.
YOU'LL STAND OUT IF YOU ARE....
  • We love competitors, team players, and people who understand sacrifice and service. If you ran a solo shop and want to offload the back-end admin grind while focusing on what you actually love being in court this seat was made for you.

NO HEADHUNTERS. NO RECRUITERS. DIRECT APPLICATIONS ONLY. • Wilner & O'Reilly, APLC is an equal opportunity employer.
