Li_
_ve._ We are a growing law firm with a passion for serving immigrants; we do family-based immigration and removal defense; we do not do any business/employer-based immigration, student visas, or tourist visas.

We are looking for an organized, passionate paralegal who likes to work hard by helping our incredible clients truly _live_, and in exchange, that paralegal knows s/he will feel immeasurably fulfilled in his or her life.

**_

**_
Vested._** We are _vested_ in the outcome of every case and in the growth of every team member.

We believe it is important to create an atmosphere where each team member can be productive and where they can hone their skills, so they are always learning, growing, and improving.

Clients are at the core of every successful firm, and it is important to listen to what they want so we can meet their needs while giving them an incredible customer experience that creates raving fans.

That is why employees and our clients and the experience they have working with us are critical to everything we do.

**_

Excellence._** We believe each member of the team holds themselves and their teammates accountable so that excellence is always present.

We also find that communication and camaraderie in a fast-paced business that has fun and celebrates growth, and successes make it a place worth working.

And while we are a fun, vibrant team, we also believe in Systems and Key Performance Indicators, so that we know we are always working in a streamlined fashion and driving results.

We expect greatness and are willing to help you get there, but we will also be just as honest in our quarterly reviews if you are not reaching the expectations that have been set.

We want our team to know if they are getting an A, or if they are falling short and how they can get up to the A+ status.

If you don't thrive on honing your skills and learning new ways, then this likely is not the right job for you.

From our Receptionist to our CEO, every person on our team is growing every month.

If anything in this ad made you want to run for the hills, then you really shouldn't apply. But if you know that you are the best of the best, that you love what you do and you want to be on this mission with us, please apply

Summary of who we are looking for:

As a Bilingual Legal Assistant, you will build on your legal support experience to take on more responsibilities in immigration law.

This intermediate-level position involves managing client intake, handling form filling, document collection, and providing case updates to clients. You will work under moderate supervision and contribute to the efficiency of the legal team.

This person is a Rockstar who loves communicating with our team and clients, helping problem-solve to make sure the case moves forward in a strategic fashion-we want to reach the clients' goals faster, smoother, and prevent bumps along the way.

Our Bilingual Legal Assistant knows how to get [you know what] done.

S/he will take the time to do the job right, of course, but knowing the client's life is in our hands, s/he will get the job done with little to no input after receiving the project.

Our Bilingual Legal Assistant works closely with the Attorneys in the firm and, with time, will mentor the firm's support staff as they grow within the firm.

Collaborate with attorneys in preparing legal documents.
Schedule appointments, hearings, and meetings to manage workflow effectively.
