Our purpose is to lift families up through excellent advocacy, honest communication, and compassionate service. We are building a disciplined, accountable team capable of serving more families without sacrificing legal quality, client care, or integrity. We are seeking an experienced Senior EOIR Removal Defense Paralegal who takes full ownership of assigned case production. This is not a passive support position. The right person anticipates deadlines, moves cases forward, identifies risks early, and brings the supervising attorney organized information and proposed next steps. What Success Looks Like The purpose of this role is to help the supervising attorney deliver timely, accurate, hearing-ready representation before the Immigration Courts and Board of Immigration Appeals. Success means that every assigned matter has a current plan, every deadline is verified and met, every filing is quality-controlled, every client knows the next step, and no urgent problem remains hidden until the last minute. Core Responsibilities Own the day-to-day progression of assigned EOIR matters under attorney supervision, from file opening through hearing preparation and case closure. Review NTAs, hearing notices, prior filings, pleadings, EROP records, USCIS records, and case histories. Promptly identify missing documents, inconsistencies, deadlines, and procedural risks. Prepare attorney-ready drafts of pleadings, motions, applications, declarations, witness and exhibit lists, indexes, cover pages, certificates of service, and supporting evidence packets. Prepare and submit ECAS filings only after required attorney review and approval. Verify acceptance and immediately escalate any rejection, defect, or service issue. Maintain accurate dual-calendar controls and confirm all court, filing, biometrics, evidence, and internal preparation deadlines. Build a written 30-, 60-, and 90-day case plan for each assigned matter and update the plan as court dates, facts, or applicable law change. Conduct structured client evidence follow-up, document every communication in Clio, and promptly notify the attorney when a client is nonresponsive or a case is falling behind its preparation schedule. Organize merits-hearing preparation, including timelines, corroborating evidence, country-conditions materials, witness coordination, interpreter needs, and attorney preparation binders. Provide proactive monthly case updates to clients and respond professionally to routine client communications within one business day. Participate in weekly case reviews, daily priority management, and the continuous improvement of checklists and standard operating procedures. Protect client confidentiality and follow all attorney-supervision, ethics, document-retention, and firm-security requirements. Support a culture of accountability, calm problem-solving, respectful teamwork, and service to families. Required Experience At least three years of recent, substantial EOIR removal-defense paralegal experience. Preferred Qualifications Experience with detained cases, BIA appeals, motions to reopen, FOIA requests, and review of EROP records. Experience using Clio Manage or a comparable legal case-management platform. Documented success improving workflows, checklists, or case-production systems. Who Thrives Here You will thrive at RV Law Attorneys if you are dependable, organized, humble enough to receive coaching, and confident enough to raise concerns early. You care about both the family behind the file and the precision required to protect that family. You do not wait to be rescued, hide mistakes, blame others, or leave the attorney to discover that a case has stalled. You communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, and treat every deadline as a promise to the client and the firm. Faith-Driven Culture Our firm is guided by faith, service, integrity, excellence, compassion, and stewardship.
