The posting, as Lisinski Law Firm wrote it

About The Lisinski Law Firm
Since 2020, Lisinski Law Firm has served as a dedicated humanitarian immigration practice committed to providing meaningful support to individuals and families seeking safety, stability, and a path forward. We frequently stand with clients who have been turned away elsewhere, offering both advocacy and care. Joining our Firm means becoming part of a team devoted to keeping families together and “Changing as Many Lives as Possible.”

About the Role
The Sr Staff Attorney independently drafts and reviews standard immigration applications, motions, briefs, and client communications and manages assigned portions of immigration matters. The role supports clients in obtaining their documents and remaining united with their families through accurate legal work, client communication, and routine hearing coverage with supervision. The attorney coordinates with staff attorneys, paralegals, and support teams, provides technical guidance, resolves standard corrections and escalations, and seeks direction on complex or non-standard issues. The role exercises greater independence than an Operations Staff Attorney and delivers routine work requiring limited substantive edits.

• Serve as a primary resource for staff attorney questions and routine legal issues; address feedback, clarify legal guidance, and escalate complex, novel, or high-risk matters to supervising counsel with supporting analysis and recommended next steps.
• Lead daily case and workflow huddles to communicate priorities, review progress toward task goals, and identify obstacles; coordinate follow-up to support timely completion while maintaining legal quality and client service standards.
• Draft, review, and update legal procedures, training materials, and review resources to reflect approved practices and changes in immigration requirements; recommend improvements and obtain appropriate approval before implementation.
• Take ownership of assigned escalations, corrections, and deadline-sensitive cases; assess underlying issues, coordinate corrective action, and complete required legal work within established timelines, seeking supervisory guidance when matters exceed the role’s scope.
• Research immigration statutes, regulations, agency guidance, and relevant decisions to resolve case questions and support legal recommendations; translate findings into practical guidance and share relevant developments with staff attorneys and supervising coun
