Description:
Karlin & Karlin, APC (Abogados Karlin) is a growing immigration law firm with offices throughout Southern California and Las Vegas. We are seeking a full-time Associate Immigration Attorney who wants to build a career in immigration law while handling meaningful cases and developing substantial courtroom and advocacy experience.

This is not a position where an associate will spend years waiting for an opportunity to take responsibility for cases. Our associate attorneys can appear in Immigration Court, work directly with clients, develop case strategies, draft substantive motions and briefs, and own cases from beginning to end.

For an attorney who wants to become an experienced immigration advocate—not simply process cases—this position offers significant opportunity for professional growth.

This can be a hybrid position.

Responsibilities:
Depending on experience, the associate attorney will handle matters involving:
  • EOIR removal defense
  • Master Calendar Hearings
  • Bond Hearings
  • Individual/Merits Hearings
  • Asylum and other humanitarian relief
  • Motions to reopen and reconsider
  • Immigration appeals and legal briefs
  • Family-based immigration
  • Adjustment of status
  • Consular processing
  • Waivers
  • VAWA and U Visa matters
  • Naturalization
  • Responses to Requests for Evidence and Notices of Intent to Deny
  • Client consultations and case evaluations
  • Preparation of clients and witnesses for hearings and interviews
  • Legal research and development of case strategy

Qualifications:
We are looking for an attorney who is intelligent, motivated, organized, and comfortable assuming responsibility.

Candidates must have:
  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Active membership in good standing with a U.S. state bar
  • Strong legal research and writing skills
  • Strong oral advocacy and communication skills
  • Ability to manage deadlines and multiple matters
  • Professionalism and good judgment
  • Genuine interest in immigration law and client advocacy
  • Prior immigration experience is strongly preferred.
