About the role
Immigration Attorney – Individual Practice
Manifest Law is hiring Immigration Attorneys for our individual practice at all levels. You'll work on individual immigration matters — O-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, H-1B, family-based, marriage-based — with caseload complexity and autonomy that scales with your experience. The standard is non-negotiable.
What makes this different
Unlike most firms, our platform handles much of the coordination, allowing you to focus on practicing law:
- Automated workflows manage attorney ↔ paralegal ↔ client handoffs.
- Smart draft tracking evaluates filings against quality benchmarks and decision patterns, providing a feedback loop for improvement.
- A unified context hub consolidates all case-related communications and updates into one place for easy access.
How the model works
You control your caseload intensity. Choose a focused docket for a stable income or an aggressive docket to increase your bonus. The condition is that every case must meet Manifest's high standards for aggressive SLAs, rigorous legal quality, and client communication.
Career Path
- Associates: Build legal skills on real cases with mentorship from senior attorneys.
- Mid-Level Attorneys: Gain full case ownership and develop client relationship skills.
- Senior Attorneys: Operate with autonomy, mentor juniors, and progress toward practice leadership.

What we're looking for, at every level:
- Associate (0–3 years): Strong legal research/writing, interest in immigration law, high responsiveness, and ambition. Immigration clinic, paralegal, or externship background is a plus.
- Mid-Level (3–6 years): Experience with employment-based or extraordinary ability petitions, comfort with client communication, and drive for ownership.
- Senior (6+ years): Expertise in O-1, EB-1A, and/or EB-2 NIW strategy, ability to mentor, and ambition for practice leadership.
Across all levels, we require:
- J.D. and active U.S. bar admission (or awaiting results for associates).
- Full commitment to Manifest's SLAs and quality standards.
- Self-motivation and ownership mindset.
- Exceptional communication skills.
Compensation:
$130,000–$250,000 base, scaling with experience. Performance bonuses scale with output and quality. Path to $200K–$1M+ at practice leadership.
