Sr. Immigration Attorney at a Tech-Forward and Humanitarian-Based Firm

Imagine if you could design an immigration law firm that you’ve always wanted to work for.

It's caring, compassionate, and collegial. (Even fun sometimes.)

Imagine if you could do the immigration work that you are deeply passionate about (you might say it's your mission in life) and have been doing for at least 3 years, including Removal Defense, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, Asylum, Immigration Appeals, and federal lawsuits.

Imagine being paid fairly and generously–$75k to $110k per year, depending on your experience, with a monthly bonus structure worth $15k to $40k per year.

All while being on a partner track. With tons of opportunities for professional learning and growth.

But not just that.

Imagine working for a founding partner that hates to micromanage. And loves AI and new technology. And praises team member victories both large and small.

Jaskot Law is not like any other traditional immigration firm.

Okay, in some ways it is–they offer a hybrid schedule (2 days remote, 3 days at their Baltimore office), a 401(k) with a matching amount, PTO, health insurance (firm pays 50%), dental, vision, and life insurance, plus reasonable working hours Monday through Friday.

But they’re not looking for just another immigration attorney to fill a seat.

Is This You?

You are a bilingual English/Spanish speaker and an attorney in good standing with the Maryland Bar. You have at least 3 years of experience in humanitarian and family-based immigration law.

But here’s what will really set you apart:

• You have “fire in your belly” and want to be in a leadership role and on a partner track.
• You love new technology and want to incorporate it into all areas of your immigration practice to improve productivity and serve clients. The firm is unparalleled in its use of technology and AI in every “nook and cranny” of the office.
• You want to work in a supportive and equity-driven environment with a non-traditional leadership structure. The firm is led by founding partner Jared Jaskot and executive director Sarah Ochoa. Paralegals and staff at Jaskot Law are seen as equal to lawyers as employees but with different job tasks.

What You’ll Need to Thrive in the Position

As Sr. Immigration Attorney, you’ll prepare applications, petitions, appeals, and waivers, conduct legal research, provide legal advice, manage cases and paralegals, go to state court for SIJS hearings and Immigration Court for Master and Individual Hearings, and adapt to legislative changes.

Do we need to say you’ll work quickly at a high level of accuracy and are absolutely obsessed with the details? Like triple-checking obsessed. And that you’re a fantastic legal writer?

Too late, we said it.

Other qualities you’ll need to thrive in this role:

• Organized, Self Starter - You will supervise a large caseload in state court, EOIR, and with USCIS. There are good systems in place, but they involve steady and consistent work.
• Good Supervisor - You will supervise paralegals and other attorneys. You’ll mentor and guide them to perform excellent legal work.
• Empathetic and Emotionally Resilient - Representing children who have experienced trauma requires a strong dose of empathy and understanding. They often are experiencing difficulty adjusting to their new situation in the US. You know how to manage the emotional challenges that come in dealing with clients' situations.
• Excellent Communicator: Clients often struggle to understand the complex processes performed on their behalf. They understandably grow impatient with long processing times and court dates. You will help them understand what is happening with clear verbal and written communication.
• Ethical and Competitive: The firm’s goal is to win cases against the government and make continuous improvements to individual and team performances.
