immigration attorney

The Immigration Force PLLC

<div>The goal is simple: You focus on being an excellent lawyer, and we build everything around that. 
Our firm is now in a phase of growth and expansion, and we are looking for an experienced immigration attorney who can step in and own the day-to-day legal work at a high level. 
This is a senior, execution-focused role for a lawyer who wants to practice law with depth, focus, and excellence (including case strategy, advocacy, and client consultations) without being pulled into operational distractions. 
In this role, you will:<ul><li>
Appear in immigration court</li><li>
Handle occasional non-routine advocacy, including federal court matters or in-person appearances before immigration agencies, if needed</li><li>
Draft motions, briefs, and complex legal filings</li><li>
Develop legal strategy and make case-specific recommendations</li><li>
Manage a caseload from strategy through execution</li><li>
Ensure all filings, deadlines, and court requirements are met</li><li>
Review legal work product for quality and accuracy</li><li>
Collaborate with paralegals and staff to move cases forward efficiently</li><li>
Support the development of junior staff as the team grows</li></ul> 
And then, at 5:30 pm, you go home.
Home to your family.
Home to your hobbies.
Home to the rest of your life. 
Because you won&rsquo;t be worrying about payroll, accounts receivable, marketing, hiring, firing, or whether the firm will make it another month. That part is already handled. This role is focused on legal execution and case ownership, not firm management or operational leadership. 
We are looking for a strong legal mind: an experienced immigration attorney who takes ownership of their work, operates with rigor and accountability, and wants to grow with a firm that is building something long-term.
