<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Immigration Attorney – Individual Practice (Contract)</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">📍 Remote (U.S.-based) | Contract / 1099 | Pay Per Case | $200K–$300K+ potential</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Minimum 4 years' experience as a practicing attorney</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This role is built for attorneys who are serious about their craft and serious about what they earn — with the experience to take real ownership from day one.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Manifest Law is engaging contract Immigration Attorneys for our individual practice. 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. You're paid per case, not per hour or per year. What doesn't scale is the standard.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What makes this different:<br></strong>At most firms, you spend a significant portion of your time on coordination — chasing documents, following up on emails, tracking where a case stands across six different threads. That's unbilled time you never get back. At Manifest, the platform handles that:</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Automated workflows manage attorney ↔ paralegal ↔ client handoffs so you're never the bottleneck</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Smart draft tracking evaluates your filings against quality benchmarks and decision patterns — you get a feedback loop that actually makes you better</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Unified context hub pulls every email, meeting note, and portal update into one place — full case context, always, without digging.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">You practice law. The platform handles the rest — so every hour you put in goes toward billable, case-advancing work.</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>How the model works:</strong><br>This is pay-per-case. You set your own caseload intensity, and your earnings move with it. Take a focused, selective docket and earn a strong, predictable per-case income. Run an aggressive docket and your earnings climb fast — attorneys working at volume can reach $200K–$300K+. The lever is yours — with one condition: every case you take is worked at Manifest's standard. Aggressive SLAs, rigorous legal quality, client communication that earns loyalty. Volume never substitutes for quality here.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>The path is explicit:</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Experienced attorneys grow into full case ownership and sharpen their client instincts</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Senior attorneys operate with full autonomy, take on higher-complexity (higher-fee) matters, and mentor colleagues</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">The destination, for attorneys who want it, is Practice Ownership — your own team, your own book, backed by the platform — earning $200K–$1M+</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What we're looking for:<br></strong>Mid-Level (4–6 years): Experience with employment-based or extraordinary ability petitions, comfort with direct client communication, and the drive to take real ownership of your matters.<br>Senior (6+ years): Deep expertise in O-1, EB-1A, and/or EB-2 NIW strategy, the ability to mentor junior attorneys, and the appetite to run a high-volume, high-quality docket.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Across all levels, we require:</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Minimum 4 years' experience as a practicing attorney</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">J.D. and active U.S. bar admission</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Full commitment to Manifest's SLAs and quality standards — non-negotiable</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Self-motivation and ownership mindset</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">A communication standard clients notice and remember</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Ability to work as an independent contractor (1099)</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em">Compensation: Pay per case.
