About Angel Leal Law

Angel Leal Law is an established Miami-based immigration law firm committed to advocating for individuals and families navigating complex immigration matters with clarity, compassion, and precision. Our practice balances a high-volume environment with personalized client service, and we pride ourselves on collaboration, accountability, and professional growth, all in service of excellent client outcomes.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Immigration Attorney to play a key role in our growing practice. This is a hands-on position for an experienced immigration attorney who enjoys handling complex matters, contributing strategic insight, and serving as a resource to colleagues, while maintaining an active caseload.

This role is ideal for an attorney who brings depth of experience, sound judgment, and a steady presence to a busy immigration practice, experienced in habeas corpus petitions, mandamus actions, and federal immigration litigation without requiring formal supervisory management as a primary focus.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage a substantive caseload involving complex immigration matters
  • Handle family-based, asylum, removal defense, and waiver cases
  • Federal Court litigation experience using mandamus and Administrative Procedures Act
  • Federal Court Habeas Corpus litigation
  • Draft and argue motions for injunctions and stays of removal
  • Develop litigation strategy for complex immigration cases
  • Review and refine filings, petitions, motions, and correspondence to ensure accuracy and quality
  • Collaborate with attorneys and staff to support efficient case flow and deadline management
  • Provide informal mentorship and guidance to junior attorneys and staff as needed
  • Assist with calendar oversight to ensure hearings, filings, and deadlines remain on track
  • Step in on sensitive or escalated client matters when appropriate
  • Contribute to improving case management systems, workflows, and best practices
  • Participate in internal training and knowledge-sharing initiatives

Requirements

What You Bring

  • Active Florida Bar license (required)
  • J.D. and active membership in good standing with the Florida Bar
  • Admission to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals with knowledge and experience in filing petitions for review with the Court on immigration related matters
  • Minimum of 5 years of immigration law experience in a multi-attorney or high-volume practice
  • Strong command of family-based, asylum, removal defense, and waiver matters
  • Admission to at least one Florida U.S. District Court (required)
  • Federal litigation experience (3+ years preferred)
  • Federal Habeas Corpus litigation experience 3+ years (required)
  • Strong legal writing and courtroom advocacy skills
  • Experience with detained cases and removal defense strongly preferred
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Clear, confident communication skills with clients and colleagues
  • Sound judgment, discretion, and the ability to manage complex matters independently
  • A calm, solutions-oriented approach in a fast-paced environment

Preferred

  • Bilingual in Spanish and English
  • Experience supporting or mentoring less experienced attorneys
  • Proficiency with cloud-based immigration case management systems
  • Interest in contributing to firm growth, systems improvement, and team development
  • Experience challenging prolonged detention or agency delay

Benefits

  • Salary commensurate with experience
  • Performance bonuses tied to firm and individual performance metrics
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and firm holidays
  • CLE and professional development support
  • Collaborative team-oriented environment with long-term growth opportunities

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter explaining your interest in this role and how your experience aligns with the needs of Angel Leal Law. Applications will be reviewed thoughtfully, and qualified candidates will be contacted directly.
