Immigration Attorney

Why Us

Are you ready to join one of the fastest-growing law firms in the US, where incredible opportunities await? As a Family-based Immigration Attorney, you will lead a team that is committed to excellence, client satisfaction, and continuous growth. Here, we don’t just offer a job: we provide an environment that challenges you to become the best version of yourself. 

Why Not Us

This is not a remote or WFH job. We charge on the high end for immigration legal services in AZ. We are fast-growing, international team, which means we have not perfected our systems and procedures. This can be stressful and chaotic to attorneys who are not used to handling a high volume of AOS, 601, and CP cases. We work in an assembly-line style, so your daily functions are overseeing the legal production, training team members, holding them accountable, and speaking with clients. You are the attorney, but you are not doing all the legal work. To succeed in this role, you must enjoy personal development, team building, delegation, sales, customer service, and project management more than you enjoy the act of lawyering.
