Remote Immigration Associate for NJ Firm with Heart

AG Law Firm • Full-time • Remote (United States) • $115k - $155k / year • 1w ago

Want to help immigrants build a better future in the US?

Are you a client-focused Attorney with both a strong sense of integrity and a healthy sense of humor?

AG Law Firm based in New Brunswick, New Jersey is looking for an experienced Spanish-speaking Immigration Attorney with 5+ years of family-based, deportation defense, and humanitarian relief experience to join a firm where attitude, character, personality, and integrity matter.

This role is ideal for an attorney who wants to practice in an environment where team members can be direct, collaborative, and themselves (without a lot of corporate fluff). Since immigration law is at times (okay, very often) high stress, humor and team connection matter a lot to the firm. When team members aren’t discussing casework, office conversations can range from the latest AI tool to Bad Bunny, random memes, parenting stories, or the latest vacation.

Attorneys who thrive here:

Are warm, thoughtful, and grounded: the firm’s clients need a steady presence.
Love and respect organization and systems: time tracking, calendaring, deadlines, clear documentation, and using the latest technology/apps.
Collaborate with colleagues, not compete.
Don’t see paralegals as “assistants,” but as partners in producing excellent work.
Are always looking to improve and grow.

Key info about the role:

Salary Range + Bonus: $115,000 to $155,000 yearly, depending on experience and demonstrated value, plus quarterly bonus structure based on hitting KPIs.
Growth + Professional Development: Growth and leadership opportunities are available as well as non-equity partnership. You’ll work closely with the owner/managing attorney who encourages professional development.
Work Location: 100% remote role in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, or Maryland. The Attorney must be able to attend any in-person court dates in Newark, New Jersey or appearances at the USCIS office in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, and should be located within a reasonable travel distance of these locations.
Language/J.D./Bar Admission: Fluency/professional proficiency in Spanish is required. Seeking candidates with a J.D. who are licensed to practice in any U.S. state with a preference for New Jersey admission.
Benefits: PTO, paid holidays, and 401(k) plus matching amount. Health, life, and disability insurance are available.
Realistic Hours: Focus on work-life balance. Open to Attorney candidates looking for a part-time role.
Start Date: ASAP.
Day-to-Day: Manage 200-250 cases with the help of a dedicated team. Manage a wide range of immigration applications and relief, including asylum, VAWA, U visas, T visas, family petitions, waivers, IV consular processing, and adjustment of status, as well as appeals and federal litigation. You’ll represent clients in immigration court proceedings and interviews before EOIR and USCIS, and communicate effectively with clients to guide them through complex immigration processes.
