Diener Law is hiring a licensed attorney with at least four years of immigration practice and substantial immigration court experience. This ad tells you exactly what the job is. If the facts fit what you're looking for, we'd like to talk.

What Makes This Job Different

You will do only attorney-level work. A dedicated, full-time support team handles the administrative process. Your work is what requires your license: representation, strategy, final reviews and appearances.

The attorney receives a substantially prepared file and is responsible for confirming factual and legal accuracy, identifying issues, providing strategic direction, strengthening legal arguments, making substantive revisions, conducting the final review, and representing the client before USCIS or the Immigration Court.
Spanish is not required. Our bilingual support staff manages client communication; interpretation is provided for hearings and client meetings.
Federal court admission is not required. Where our federal work requires an admitted attorney, the firm arranges sponsorship as permitted by rules.

The Work

Represent clients in removal and asylum proceedings before immigration courts nationwide — primarily by video, with occasional in-person appearances as required by the court.
Represent detained clients, including virtual facility visits.
Typical caseload and hearing volume: workload varies depending on hearing schedules, with some weeks being heavier than others. USCIS work is generally manageable and balanced alongside court responsibilities.
Familiarity with family-based and humanitarian immigration matters before USCIS including but not limited to I-130, AOS, N-400, N-600, VAWA, U-visa, I-601/I-601A waivers, affirmative asylum and consular processing
Contribute to our federal practice: we have begun bringing habeas petitions in federal district court — with early success — and we are candid that this practice is young. We are building the expertise deliberately, and an attorney with federal experience or ambition can help shape it.

Who Succeeds Here

Preference will be given to candidates whose 4+ years of experience are primarily in immigration law.
Substantial EOIR experience handling a broad range of removal-defense matters, including master and merit hearings. Candidates must be comfortable litigating asylum and withholding claims, cancellation of removal, in-court AOS, waivers, motions to reopen or terminate, and other contested immigration court matters.
Detained-docket experience preferred.
Bar admission requirements: J.D. from an accredited law school; active bar membership in good standing
Comfort working with, directing, and quality-controlling a remote support team - you review and sign the work you supervise, so high standards and clear delegation both matter.
Commitment to the clients. In the current enforcement climate this work is demanding and it matters; we are looking for attorneys who want to be in it.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $100,000–$140,000, commensurate with experience.
Bonus: Attorneys who consistently meet performance, quality, productivity, and teamwork expectations have historically earned quarterly bonuses beginning at approximately $20,000. However, actual bonus amounts vary based on individual contribution, team performance, and firm results.
401(k) with 4% employer match after one year.
Health coverage: Subsidy stipend
Paid time off: 8 paid holidays plus 15 days annually, combined vacation and sick leave.

How ro Apply:

Apply through Indeed with your résumé and a brief note — a few sentences are enough — answering two questions:

Approximately how many individual merits hearings have you completed in the past year?
Describe any federal district or circuit court experience, or your interest in developing it. ("None yet" is an acceptable answer.)

About Diener Law

We are an immigration firm with 15 offices across North Carolina, California, Arizona, and Texas, supported by a substantial operations team, and growing. Our focus is removal defense and asylum, with an expanding federal court practice.

We value humility, service, and mutual support — and we try to earn those words rather than post them. In practice, that looks like a court team that shares strategy and covers for one another, accountability that runs in every direction, and a commitment to continuous growth (the federal practice above is one example). We fight for our clients and for each other. If you want to do this work alongside people who take both halves of that sentence seriously, you will fit here.
