Associate Immigration Lawyer – Small Firm, Big Impact

Kruger Immigration Law, PLLC • Full-time • Buffalo, New York State, United States • $90k - $130k / year • 1m ago

Are you the kind of lawyer who thinks outside the box but never outside your ethics? Do you believe “compassion” and “fearlessness” belong in the same sentence? If so, you might just be the lawyer we’re looking for.

We’re a small, dynamic immigration law firm with a big mission: helping individuals and businesses from all over the world build their futures in the United States. We’re scrappy, collaborative, and unapologetically values-driven.

Who You Are

A licensed attorney (any U.S. state).
Experience in immigration law is a must - at least three years in a private immigration practice.
You thrive in a fast-paced environment without losing your cool—or your kindness.
You’ve got creativity in your legal toolkit and see challenges as opportunities to innovate, not obstacles.
Your moral compass is unshakeable. You do the right thing, even when it’s the hard thing.
Compassion is your default mode—but so is tenacity.

What You’ll Do

Represent individuals and businesses in a variety of immigration matters (family, employment, humanitarian relief, removal defense, etc.).
Write, argue, and advocate like you mean it.
Collaborate with a small but mighty team of lawyers, paralegals, and staff.
Build strong, trusting relationships with clients from every corner of the globe.
Stay sharp, stay current, and never stop learning.

What We Offer

Competitive salary (yes, even for a small firm—we know your value) - $90,000 - $130,000, depending on your experience and whether you bring a book of business with you.
Health insurance, Simple IRA plan, and professional development support (because growth matters).
A genuine commitment to work/life balance (no 80-hour weeks here).
A chance to make a real impact in people’s lives while building your career.
A team culture that values integrity, creativity, humor, and humanity.

Why Join Us?

Because we’re not just practicing law—we’re changing lives. We believe in fearless creativity, active compassion, and uncompromising ethics. If you’re looking for a buttoned-up, corporate gig, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for meaningful work with a team that’s as dedicated as it is fun, pull up a chair.
