Job Description

Immigration Attorney – Individual Practice (Contract)

Remote (U.S.-based) | Contract / 1099 | Pay Per Case | $200K–$300K+ potential

Minimum 4 years' experience as a practicing attorney

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.

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.

What makes this different: 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:

  • Automated workflows manage attorney ↔ paralegal ↔ client handoffs so you're never the bottleneck

  • Smart draft tracking evaluates your filings against quality benchmarks and decision patterns — you get a feedback loop that actually makes you better

  • Unified context hub pulls every email, meeting note, and portal update into one place — full case context, always, without digging.

  • You practice law. The platform handles the rest — so every hour you put in goes toward billable, case-advancing work.

How the model works: 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.

The path is explicit:

  • Experienced attorneys grow into full case ownership and sharpen their client instincts

  • Senior attorneys operate with full autonomy, take on higher-complexity (higher-fee) matters, and mentor colleagues

  • The destination, for attorneys who want it, is Practice Ownership — your own team, your own book, backed by the platform — earning $200K–$1M+

What we're looking for: 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. 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.

Across all levels, we require:

  • Minimum 4 years' experience as a practicing attorney

  • J.D. and active U.S. bar admission

  • Full commitment to Manifest's SLAs and quality standards — non-negotiable

  • Self-motivation and ownership mindset

  • A communication standard clients notice and remember

  • Ability to work as an independent contractor (1099)

Compensation: Pay per case. Per-matter fees scale with complexity and experience. No cap — your earnings track your output and quality.
