Job Description
Who We Are
Political Asylum Lawyers is a Houston-based immigration law firm focused on asylum cases. We help immigrants all over the United States secure their future here through asylum, combining exceptional standards with deep respect for the human reality behind every case.

Our work changes lives. The standards we maintain, the discipline behind our work, and the way we show up every day can determine whether someone is able to build a safe and stable future in the United States. That is why we operate with integrity, urgency, and excellence, and why we expect every team member to take full ownership of their role.
