Immigration Attorney

Firm Overview

Feldman Feldman & Associates (FFA) is a 15+ person boutique immigration law firm in San Diego handling all aspects of family- and employment-based immigration. We’ve grown primarily through referrals from clients and colleagues who value our ethical approach, high-quality work product, and responsive service. We take pride in handling complex matters with care, precision, and clear communication.

We’re seeking an experienced immigration attorney—ideally with strong employment-based immigration experience—who enjoys solving challenging legal problems and understands that every case impacts a client’s life and future in the United States. This role is best suited for someone who wants a long-term home, is excited to mentor others, and has the ambition to grow into leadership and, ultimately, a partnership track role.

We are also open to conversations with solo practitioners or small firms interested in joining our practice.

You will manage a robust caseload with support from experienced paralegals and a collaborative attorney team. While we value cross-training and broad immigration knowledge, this position is designed for someone who can take ownership of employment-based matters while also assisting with family-based work as needed.

• Assessing client goals and developing clear, strategic immigration plans
• Drafting and reviewing filings, including complex legal briefs, cover letters, and RFE/NOID responses
• Reviewing supporting evidence and identifying weaknesses before submission
• Supervising and mentoring paralegals; reviewing their work for accuracy and quality
• Communicating promptly and professionally with clients (email and phone)
• Staying current on USCIS policy updates, memos, and changes in immigration law
• Collaborating with the team and stepping in where needed

To be seriously considered, you should have:

• Active license to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (any state)
• 18+ months of immigration law experience (employment-based strongly preferred; family-based also valued)
• Excellent legal writing and research skills; strong attention to detail
• Ability to manage a high-volume caseload while maintaining high quality
• Professional, personable client-facing communication style
• A proactive, team-oriented mindset and interest in long-term growth with the firm

• This is primarily an in-office role, Monday–Friday.
• Occasional remote work is permitted, but the expectation is that most hours are worked in the office.

We ask a lot of our team, and we give a lot in return. In addition to a competitive salary ($100,000+ depending on experience and book of business), healthcare coverage, and a retirement plan, we offer:

• 3 weeks of paid time off
• Centrally located office in Mission Valley, near freeway access
• Upscale, thoughtfully designed workspace with a large workstation and Mission Valley views
• Business casual dress code
• Flexible start times (we care more about outcomes than a rigid schedule)
• Free, plentiful parking
