Associate Attorney – Family & Immigration Law

Solutions Law Iowa, PLC – Des Moines, IA
Full-time • Competitive salary + performance bonuses

About Us

At Solutions Law Iowa, we don’t believe attorneys have to choose between caring about clients and hitting their marks — the best lawyers do both. Our clients deserve someone who listens with heart and executes with discipline. If you’re the rare person who brings both heart and hustle to the table, you’ll thrive here.

We’re a mission-driven small firm focused on family law litigation and affirmative immigration cases with USCIS. We take pride in doing meaningful work, supporting each other, and maintaining a high-performance culture where attorneys can grow fast, take ownership, and build real expertise early in their careers.

If you want a place where you can make an impact, level up your skills, and be part of a team that values both compassion and results, this could be your next home.

Family Law

• Represent clients in divorce, custody, modifications, and related matters
• Prepare for and attend hearings, mediations, and depositions
• Draft and file motions, pleadings, and discovery
• Manage negotiations and coordinate with opposing counsel

Immigration Law

• Prepare family-based petitions, naturalization cases, and humanitarian filings for submission to USCIS

• Draft legal arguments and responses to Requests for Evidence
• Attend USCIS interviews and naturalization exams with clients both in-person and telephonically
• Stay up to date on policy changes, trends, and best practices

General Attorney Responsibilities

• Attend new-client onboarding meetings

• Participate in team meetings and contribute ideas that help improve workflows
• Maintain at least 2 in-office days per week and a consistent weekly schedule

Who You Are

We’re looking for someone who resonates with the idea of bringing something to the table — someone who knows their value and is excited to grow it.

• Organized and proactive with your workload
• Accountable and reliable with time tracking, deadlines, and follow-through

In short, you bring both compassion and ambition, and you see this job as a place to grow, contribute, and elevate your career.
