Job Description

Green | Evans-Schroeder (GES) is recruiting to fill a full-time immigration attorney position, focusing on litigation in the United States District Courts and the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal. Our law firm has developed a national reputation for leaning into challenging and complex immigration cases, moving the needle forward in immigration law with progressive and high-impact litigation and advocacy.

This position may be performed remotely. Working at GES is a rewarding experience for those who share our mission, which is to protect and advance the rights of the immigrant community. Our core values emphasize working collaboratively in a team-oriented environment; always demonstrating respect and dignity to our clients and to ourselves; and embracing courage and creativity to overcome obstacles.

With an eye to the future, we have recently expanded our footprint from Tucson to Phoenix, and we are excited for the opportunity to serve and help more clients and their families in Arizona and around the world. As we continue on our journey, we remain committed to responsibly developing an organizationally healthy, diverse, and cohesive team of passionate immigration advocates.

Summary

Our law firm is seeking to hire a full-time immigration attorney who will be responsible for managing a caseload of primarily U.S District Court litigation matters, and appeals in the U.S. Courts of Appeal, mostly in the Ninth Circuit, in addition to matters at the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). Qualified applicants will have substantial experience in litigating habeas petitions, mandamus actions, FOIA lawsuits, and other immigration litigation matters in the U.S. District Courts, with significant preliminary injunctive relief litigation experience.

Applicants must also demonstrate substantial experience and skill with appellate immigration matters. In this position, you will be responsible for working with the other lawyers in our firm to identify and develop creative and effective strategies in detention and removal cases, in addition to family-based, humanitarian, and business immigration matters that require, or may benefit from, district court litigation. The attorney filling this role is also expected to effectively collaborate and network with other attorneys, law firms, and organizations involved with federal court litigation nationally.

What You'll Do

  • Manage caseload of district court, circuit court, and BIA cases.
  • Communicate effectively with the law firm's other attorneys, paralegals, and clients and their families to provide exemplary representation
  • Identify and implement litigation strategies to vigorously defend the firm’s clients against detention and removal through district court and appellate litigation
  • Draft and file petitions for writ of habeas corpus and motions for preliminary injunctive relief, along with necessary responses and replies in those matters, in the U.S. District Courts
  • Identify and implement litigation strategies to aggressively and effectively address agency delay and abuse in appropriate instances for the law firm's clients with affirmative immigration processes
  • Make remote or, as necessary, in-person appearances in District Court hearings and Circuit Court oral arguments
  • Effectively communicate and collaborate with other attorneys and experts in the field—locally and nationally—to leverage as much knowledge and advice as possible for the benefit of our clients
  • Perform consultations for potential clients who are interested in the law firm’s services
  • Demonstrate responsible financial management of clients' cases and adhere to the firm's billing requirements.

Compensation and Benefits

  • We offer a competitive compensation and benefit package that compares to the top-rated immigration law firms across the country, which includes:
  • Monthly and quarterly performance-based bonuses that allow attorneys to earn significantly more than their base salary
  • Paid Time Off (PTO), accrued biweekly, Five (5) days of sick time
  • Minimum thirteen (13) days vacation time with opportunity to accrue additional vacation/personal leave each year
  • Eleven (11) paid holidays
  • Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Retirement plan
  • Payment of bar and professional organization membership dues
  • Payment of annual MCLE courses - additional paid professional development opportunities
  • Mileage reimbursement for travel between offices and places of work
  • Attorneys who choose to continue their careers with our law firm are considered for promotion along a partnership track, which offers additional opportunities and compensation

What You’ll Bring

  • Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
  • Must be licensed to practice law by the highest court of any state
  • Minimum seven (7) years’ district court and circuit court litigation experience
  • Proficiency in Spanish is strongly preferred but not required
  • And, most importantly, a commitment to our mission and values

*All applicants must submit a resume, a cover letter, and two (2) writing samples, preferably one from the District Court and one from a Circuit Court of Appeals.
