Entry-Level Associate Attorney/Law Clerk (PT/FT)

We are a small immigration law firm located in Flushing, New York. We understand that for many of our clients, immigration is only second to their health in terms of importance. We don’t think we are better than our clients. In fact, we don’t think anyone is better than another, which enables us to work with compassion and respect.

I am the managing member of the firm and I endeavor to create a collegial environment for all my employees, attorneys and paralegals alike. We look for candidates who wish to grow with the firm and one day become a partner. All of our attorneys will be on partner track once they 1) are barred, and 2) passed the 3-month probationary period with the firm.

Please send your resume if you demonstrate the following qualifications:

-You are a 3rd year law student (3L) or 0-2 years after law school;

-You have some experience in immigration law, if not, tell us why you want to transition into immigration. You can still apply if you have no immigration experience and we are willing to train the right candidate.

-You love immigration law and want to have a full-fledged, long-term career in immigration law;

-You enjoy helping others

-You learn fast

-You are independent

-You are a good writer

-You are resourceful and can hit the ground running from Day One;

-You are not hesitant to go the extra mile. As an attorney, you will sometimes need to put in extra hours if the work so requires.

-You take ownership of your work and understand that you are responsible for your own career;

-No task is “beneath” you, including incidental scanning and copying, etc.

-You have a JD, or, if you have an LLM, demonstrated interest/experience in immigration and English abilities are essential.

Comp starts at $25-27 for part-time law students/law clerk. Barred attorneys will start at $27-30 per hour (part-time) and $60,000-$65,000 annually (full-time) and commensurate with experience. Paid time off and sick time apply after the initial 3-month probationary period. Medical, retirement benefits, and bonuses start after 1 year of employment. The annual comp review at year-end will go over lockstep pay raises and/or merit-based pay raises.

Sponsorship for H-1B is possible for the right candidate.

We are also interested in getting to know your personality so please feel free to send us whatever information you’d like to share with us (your hobbies, MBTI type, etc.).
