Job Description

Lead Immigration Attorney

Humanitarian immigration firm in Houston is seeking an Immigration Attorney. Must be bilingual/Spanish.

Position: Lead Immigration Attorney

Years of Experience: 2 - 3 years

Practice Areas: Removal Defense (primary focus), with VAWA, T-Visa, and Asylum as core supporting practice areas.

The Opportunity: We're launching a humanitarian immigration firm in Houston this fall, backed by important investors from two of Colombia's top-ranked law firms ranked among Colombia's top 20 by revenue, recognized by Chambers & Partners and Legal 500. The model is built so that one attorney stands at the center of the practice — not an associate among many, but the legal face of the entire firm, with real investment behind building that person's name and reputation in the Houston immigration bar. Every part of the operation — marketing, technology, client intake, case support — exists to support that one person's practice and profile. This is a different and unique opportunity.

Timeline: Onboarding expected mid-September 2026 (approx. Sept 15–20), with full operations launching October 2026.

Candidate Profile: Licensed to practice law in Texas. Experience in humanitarian immigration and/or removal defense (EOIR) strongly preferred. Fluent Spanish is required. Latino background / cultural connection to the immigrant community strongly preferred. Comfortable with an entrepreneurial, build-it-yourself mindset — this is joining a firm at its founding stage, not stepping into an established practice.
