Job description

Boutique Immigration Law Firm in Dallas and Houston Texas seeks Associate Attorneys who are ready to make an impact on the world as we work together to unite the world, one client one family at a time.

What we offer:

You will learn all aspects of immigration law, including removal defense, political asylum, family based immigration, and employment and investment immigration. Any aspect of immigration law that interests you, we do it and can help you grow your knowledge and experience in that area.

You will have the chance to help individuals and families reach their goals of coming to the US; protect themselves from deportation or returning to a place where they may be persecuted; help victims of crime and domestic violence find an immigration path; reunite families who have been apart for many years; and invest in the US to help grow our economy while providing for their families and the families of those who work with them.

You will learn how to effectively practice as an attorney, including sales and consultations, how to fiercely and ethically represent individuals and families as they navigate through the challenging US immigration system, and how to advocate strongly in the face of an overwhelmingly challenging bureaucracy.

If you already have experience in immigration law, we have opportunities to continue to develop and hone your skills and leadership abilities.

If you don't have experience, that's OK with us. We can teach you what you need to know to become an effective advocate and practitioner quickly.

You will find the work we do to be incredibly rewarding as you have a significant impact on individuals and families struggling to find a way forward in the US.

Paid holidays, paid time off, access to health insurance, retirement savings plan with company match, firmwide monthly training, stipend towards CLE compliance, annual licensing fees, and more.

Compensation based on experience, with opportunities to receive bonus compensation for reaching individual and firm targets.

What we do not offer:

Crazy work hours - we strongly believe in work/life balance and encourage our team to leave it at the office at the end of the day.

Working hard to make rich people richer - we practice what we call the law of the people. Our purpose as a firm is to impact and change our clients' lives and help them reach their individual and family goals.

Overwhelming billable hours expectations - in fact, we don't bill time at all. We work together as a teach to accomplish the financial targets we set as a firm. Almost every case we open is a fixed fee for a specific scope of work.

Exposure to other areas of law - we are committed to focusing the firm on immigration cases only.

What we need:

US license to practice law - the jurisdiction does not matter.

A strong desire to help people change their lives and accomplish their goals.

A commitment to excellence and honesty in your work.

A desire to grow and learn.

What we prefer:

In our business, it helps if you are bilingual in English and Spanish. That said, we can accommodate those who do not speak Spanish with translation support.

If you are fluent in a language other than Spanish or English, we may be able to structure our marketing efforts to ensure the public is aware of that ability and provide opportunities for new clients and consultations in that language.

Authorization to work in the US independent of sponsorship. However, we will consider TN sponsorship for citizens of Mexico and Canada, H-1B transfers, H-1B cap sponsorship for those on OPT or other work authorization, and PERM.

Come help us help others reach their immigration goals while reaching your professional goals. Our motto is "Families, not Files," and we work hard to live up to that motto every day. Join us and see the impact you can make in the world.

Visa sponsorship record

No public sponsorship records found

We didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name Davis & Associates Immigration in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).

Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.

Which visas can work for this job

Occupation: Lawyers (SOC 23-1011).

  • Mentioned in the listing

    H-1B, OPT

  • H-1B cap-exempt employer

    Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).

  • TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)

    This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Lawyer” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.

  • E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)

    Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.

  • O-1 (extraordinary ability)

    For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.

Salary vs prevailing wage

Below Level I

Lawyers · Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).

L1L2L3L4
LevelPrevailing wageH-1B lottery odds*
Level I$93,558~15%
Level II$143,229~31%
Level III$192,899~46%
Level IV$242,570~61%

This job pays $90,000 a year — below the Level I prevailing wage. For H-1B the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage, so the offer would have to go up.

* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
