Job Overview:
A reputable law firm in Orange, CA, is looking for a skilled Associate Attorney to join its dynamic team.

  • Represent clients at hearings and provide strategic advice on case developments.
  • Handle criminal cases, including arraignments, pre-trials, pleas, and sentencing as required.
  • Assess the impact of criminal convictions on clients’ immigration status and offer guidance accordingly.
  • Collaborate effectively with attorneys and staff across criminal and immigration practices to provide comprehensive legal services.
  • Conduct legal research and draft motions relevant to PCR cases.

Qualifications & Requirements:

  • Must be licensed to practice law in California.
  • Prior experience in criminal defense or immigration law is preferred.
  • Experience handling criminal cases at the state and local levels is an advantage.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work collaboratively with colleagues.
  • Bilingual in Spanish and English is a plus.
  • Ability to manage a heavy caseload and work independently in a fast-paced environment.

Education:

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.

Certifications:

  • Active California State Bar membership.

Skills:

  • Knowledge of criminal defense and post-conviction relief procedures.
  • Familiarity with immigration law and its intersection with criminal convictions.
  • Strong legal research, writing, and communication skills.
  • Ability to handle complex legal cases with attention to detail and deadlines.
  • Proficiency with legal software and case management systems.

Job Location:

  • Orange, CA (Remote work available)

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off (PTO) and paid parking.
  • Professional development opportunities and career advancement support.
  • Collaborative and inclusive work environment.
