Job Description
Job Description
If you’ve spent your career in court, advocating for clients facing life-changing consequences, your skills are already a natural fit for immigration removal defense .
We’re inviting criminal defense attorneys and public defenders to transition into immigration law— without giving up courtroom work or impact —and with the opportunity for a significant increase in compensation .
Why This Transition Makes Sense
Removal defense is litigation-heavy and aligns closely with criminal defense work:
- Courtroom advocacy and evidentiary hearings
- High-stakes outcomes affecting families
- Motion practice, legal strategy, and client counseling
- Protecting due process for vulnerable populations
If you’ve handled arraignments, trials, or appeals, you already have the foundation to succeed.
What You Gain
- Starting salary from $110,000 , with potential for more based on experience
- Quarterly profit sharing
- 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance
- 5 weeks PTO + 12 weeks paid parental leave
- 401(k) with employer match
- CLEs, bar dues, and structured support as you grow in immigration law
- A collaborative, mission-driven environment with strong recognition for workplace culture
What We’re Looking For
- Licensed U.S. attorney (any state)
- Background in criminal defense, public defense, or litigation
- Spanish fluency preferred
- Willingness to work in-person
- Current Office: 4050 Innslake Drive, Suite 190, Glen Allen, VA 23060
- Future Headquarters (April 2026): 12870 Patterson Ave, Richmond, VA 23238
- A heart for advocacy and growth
The Impact
Continue standing beside clients at their most vulnerable moments—protecting them from detention, deportation, and family separation—while building a more sustainable, well-compensated legal career .
