About the role

Lone Star Legal Aid in Houston seeks a Staff Attorney for the Individual Safety Unit.

You may supervise staff, participate in outreach and community education, and handle a full case load including evening clinics. Bilingual Spanish & English is preferred to serve diverse clients.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
