Stand Up for Immigrants. Change Lives. Advocate Where It Matters Most.

Remote Staff Attorney – Immigration Court Representation

If you're passionate about courtroom advocacy and making a meaningful difference, this is your opportunity.

You'll represent clients during some of the most important moments of their lives—appearing in Immigration Court and before USCIS, preparing clients to testify, and advocating for the strongest possible outcomes. This role is focused on representation, not drafting. Our Drafting Attorneys handle applications, motions, briefs, and evidence, allowing you to concentrate on client advocacy.

This is a fully remote position for attorneys based in Orlando, Dallas, San Antonio, or Houston who live within one hour of their city's non-detained Immigration Court(s). Spanish-language fluency is required.

We embrace technology, including AI, to help our attorneys work more efficiently while maintaining the sound judgment, strategic thinking, and compassionate advocacy our clients deserve. Travel of up to two overnight trips per month is expected.

What You'll Do

• Represent clients as counsel in Immigration Court — both Master Calendar and Individual Hearings, virtual and in-person — and in affirmative asylum interviews before USCIS, appearing at least twice a week
• Prepare clients to testify, walking them through their testimony and ensuring they are ready for the procedural and factual issues in their hearings and interviews
• Build genuine rapport with clients, earning the trust that helps people who have survived trauma feel safe, supported, and ready to share their stories and testify
• Develop case strategy for the hearings and interviews you handle, ensuring each client is positioned for the strongest possible outcome
• Collaborate across legal teams to ensure cases move efficiently through established workflows while maintaining quality standards
• Leverage technology, including AI tools, to prepare more effectively and stay organized across a high volume of appearances, adhering to structured workflows while exercising professional judgment
• Travel to represent clients at Immigration Courts and USCIS offices throughout the country, planning for up to two trips of one or two nights per month
