Immigration Paralegal
About The Position
Join the New Frontier Immigration Law team and help change the lives of 1 million undocumented immigrants in the USA. Our mid-sized law firm in Phoenix, AZ is committed to humanitarian-based immigration and finding innovative solutions for seemingly impossible problems. Are you ready to join one of the fastest-growing law firms in the US, where incredible opportunities await? Here, we don’t just offer a job: we provide an environment that challenges you to become the best version of yourself. This is not a traditional paralegal role. As a Bilingual Immigration Paralegal at New Frontier, you will be a critical driver of our mission to help immigrant families LIVE FREE. You will handle complex removal defense and family-based immigration cases, partner closely with attorneys, and deliver an extraordinary client experience rooted in clarity, compassion, and excellence. Your work directly impacts family unity, personal safety, and long-term security for the clients we serve. Every application you prepare, every declaration you draft, every court filing you complete moves an immigrant one step closer to freedom. You'll be a good candidate if you excel in fast-paced legal environments, bring deep expertise in immigration law, and thrive when your work has purpose. You are energized by both complex casework and client-facing communication, and you believe in advocating for immigrants with excellence, innovation, and heart.
