ABOUT US & THE JOB:
Godoy Law Office is a fast-paced Oak Brook based law firm. We help immigrants and their families using our knowledge of both immigration and criminal law. We specialize in traversing situations where both of those practice areas intersect.
The work at Godoy Law Office has an immediate impact on the lives of people. At times, we are what stands between our client’s American Dream and whether he or she is removed from the United States. Therefore, if you are interested in this job, know that you will be dealing with highly intensive situations where your work will impact the lives of our clients and those that love them.
We are seeking an Attorney who has a passion for immigration to help take our growing law firm to the next level. We are not your typical law firm. You must have a “Can do” attitude and determination that is not required of most jobs. If this is you, then please continue reading.
Fluent Spanish speaker is preferred.
THE JOB:
- Take ownership of a client's case – federal immigration proceedings and state court criminal cases
- Conduct client meetings and recommend strategies
- Delegate work to paralegals and legal assistants and monitor their work
- Full-service immigration services: family immigration, employment immigration, deportation defense
- THE ESSENTIALS:
- Skills and experience are important and valued, but your personality, character, intelligence, and integrity are also extremely important considerations. We need an attorney who already has litigation experience, but attitude is just as important.
- High-maintenance, humorless, self-entitled, or self-important individuals will not succeed in this position and need not apply.
- If you think filling out a plea form is the best thing you can do for a client, do not apply
Fluent Spanish speaker is preferred
