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.

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

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.

Karlin & Karlin, a/k/a Abogados Karlin, is a well-established law firm headquartered in Glendale, with additional offices in Corona, Downey, and Las Vegas.

• Supportive, family-oriented firm culture.

• Opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of immigrant families.

• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.

• Potential for growth within a growing law firm.

Benefits:

• 401(k)

• Dental insurance

• Health insurance

• Paid time off

• Professional development assistance

• Paid holidays

We offer something increasingly difficult to find in an immigration practice: the opportunity to become a well-rounded immigration attorney with genuine responsibility for cases.

For the right attorney, we want this to be more than simply another associate position. We are looking for someone who can grow with the firm and become an important part of its future.
