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+
