Elevate Your Career in Immigration Law l We're Hiring for Immigration Attorney in VA

$110k

Hiring & Empowering Solutions

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 .
