David Immigration Law is seeking an experienced U.S. immigration attorney to join our established immigration practice on a part-time basis.

This is not an entry-level or training position. We are looking for an attorney with at least 5 years of substantive U.S. immigration law experience who is capable of independently reviewing matters, making sound legal decisions, communicating directly with clients, and taking genuine ownership of assigned cases.

Some in-person meetings, interviews or other appearances may be required from time to time.

The attorney will work alongside our Managing Attorney, Lead Paralegal and more junior Paralegal and will assume responsibility for an assigned portfolio of immigration matters.

Advising clients on substantive immigration issues.

Answering substantive legal questions from the paralegal team.
Conducting client strategy calls and interview preparation where appropriate.
Attending USCIS interviews when assigned.
Making independent legal judgments within the firm's established procedures and escalation protocols.
Identifying matters that require escalation to the Managing Attorney.

We are specifically looking for an attorney who will take ownership of assigned matters from the attorney side. We are looking for someone comfortable making decisions and moving cases forward independently.
