    Stand Up for Clients. Defend Their Future. Make Every Case Count.

    At MRA Law Group, we believe immigration law is about more than legal filings - it’s about protecting families, preserving opportunities, and fighting for people whose futures are on the line.

    We are a fast-growing immigration law firm dedicated exclusively to U.S. Immigration Law, serving individuals and families facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Our clients trust us with matters that can determine where they live, whether families stay together, and what opportunities await them in the future.

    We are seeking a passionate and driven Immigration Litigation Attorney who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to step into a role where advocacy, strategy, and leadership matter every day.

    This is not a behind-the-scenes position. You will be on the front lines, representing clients, developing legal strategies, and fighting for meaningful outcomes in high-stakes immigration matters.

    What You'll Do:

    As a Litigation Attorney, you will serve on the front lines of immigration advocacy, representing clients whose futures, families, and safety may depend on the outcome of their cases.

    Responsibilities:

    Represent clients before the Immigration Courts (EOIR), USCIS, and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)

    Represent clients at USCIS interviews, adjustment of status interviews, asylum interviews, and other immigration-related appointments

    Conduct Master Calendar Hearings, Individual Hearings, Bond Hearings, and other immigration court appearances

    Develop and execute litigation strategies for removal defense, asylum, humanitarian relief, waivers, and other complex immigration matters

    Prepare and argue motions, briefs, appeals, and legal memoranda

    Conduct legal research and analyze complex immigration and procedural issues

    Prepare clients and witnesses for testimony, hearings, and immigration interviews

    Advocate passionately and effectively before Immigration Judges, USCIS officers, and government agencies

    Collaborate with attorneys, legal assistants, and support teams to deliver exceptional client outcomes

    Manage a diverse litigation caseload while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and client service

    Build trusted relationships with clients during some of the most critical moments of their lives

    What You'll Bring:

    We are looking for an attorney who combines strong litigation skills with a deep commitment to immigrant advocacy.

    Qualifications include:

    J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school

    Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

    Minimum of 3 years of immigration law experience

    Experience appearing before EOIR and handling immigration court proceedings

    Experience with removal defense, asylum, cancellation of removal, waivers, and humanitarian forms of relief strongly preferred

    Strong oral advocacy, legal writing, litigation, and research skills

    Ability to develop legal strategy and manage complex litigation matters independently

    Excellent communication and client relationship management abilities

    Ability to manage a fast-paced caseload with urgency, accountability, and attention to detail

    Additional languages such as Haitian Creole, Portuguese, or other multilingual capabilities are highly valued

    Who Thrives Here:

    The attorneys who succeed at MRA Law Group share a few common traits:

    They care deeply about immigrant communities and the challenges they face.

    They believe legal advocacy has the power to transform lives.

    They understand that every hearing, motion, interview, and legal argument carries real consequences for their clients.

    They are confident in the courtroom and compassionate with the people they represent.

    They think strategically and prepare thoroughly for every case.

    They remain calm under pressure and resilient through challenges.

    They adapt effectively to changing laws, policies, and case developments.

    They take ownership rather than waiting for direction.

    They embrace accountability and hold themselves to high standards because their clients deserve excellence.

    They are collaborative, solutions-oriented, and committed to achieving meaningful results.

    They build trust with clients through empathy, professionalism, and clear communication.

    They are motivated by purpose and want their work to have a lasting impact.

    What You'll Find Here:

    At MRA Law Group, you'll join a team of attorneys, paralegals, case coordinators, and client care professionals who are united by a common mission: helping immigrants and their families build safer, stronger futures.

    Our culture is built around our CARE values:

    Collaboration

    Adaptability

    Results

    Empathy

    We believe the best outcomes happen when talented professionals work together in service of a greater purpose.

    You will be supported, challenged, and given the opportunity to grow professionally while making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
