## Job description

What is Manifest? Manifest is a revolutionary law firm built by lawyers, for lawyers. With our law-firm-in-a-box solution, we’re reimagining legal practice from the ground up—no billable hour targets, no firm politics, no profit-at-all-costs mindset. Just world-class lawyers doing their best work in service of justice and client outcomes. We bring together the best legal talent in the country—lawyers who left Big Law and traditional firms to re-center themselves on what truly matters: mastery, purpose, and impact. At Manifest, you’ll be supported by cutting-edge legal ops, modern infrastructure, and a community of elite peers so you can focus on fighting for your clients while doing well for yourself.

We offer a guaranteed base of $84-96k/year, with no cap on your upside. Lawyers working full-time with us are earning over $500K/year—without chasing clients or sacrificing their values. You’ll be paid per case, with clear, transparent compensation and a full support team behind you.

## What You’ll Do

- Prepare and file legal documents related to immigration petitions and applications
- Respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and other USCIS correspondence

- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Strong knowledge of immigration laws, regulations, and processes
- Demonstrated excellence and client advocacy
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a commitment to impact
- Licensed and in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction

## What We Offer

- Uncapped earnings—our full-time lawyers are making $500K+ annually
- $84-96k guaranteed income, paid monthly—no matter what
- 100% remote work with flexible scheduling
- A full pipeline of vetted, high-quality cases—no business development needed
- End-to-end operational support—paralegals, filings, scheduling, billing, and more
- No billable hour quotas. No internal politics. No burnout.
- Growth opportunities as we scale a new model for modern legal practice
- True legal community and peer review from the best in the business This Isn’t for Everyone. It’s for lawyers who want out of the billable grind—but not out of the game. It’s for people who want their work to mean something again. It’s for the ones who still believe great lawyering can change lives. Ready to practice law the way it should be? Apply now and join the movement. Welcome to Manifest.
