Do you love immigrants?
Know the difference between adjustment of status and consular processing?
Like to spot issues and problem solve?
If the answer to these questions is “Hell, yes!” and if you are a licensed attorney, we may have the ideal position for you.
We are Hacking Immigration Law, LLC, and we fight for immigrants. Every day.
Our national immigration firm is looking for that special someone.
Someone who can work with our leads team to sign up new cases, five days a week.
That’s the gig.
Talking to immigrants and the people who love them to help figure out if our firm can help navigate the immigration process and get them the benefit that they desire.
Just think.
You don’t have to fill out or revise forms.
And you don’t have to worry about collecting payments from anyone.
Instead, you get to work entirely remotely from the comfort of your own home.
This is a full time, salaried position with the possibility for a bonus based on performance.
As our Leads Attorney, you would work hand-in-hand with our intake team to evaluate and (hopefully) sign up new cases.
In doing so, you would free up our other lawyers to handle the legal work themselves.
How is that for a win-win?
