According to recent market analysis and industry standards, legal professionals specializing in immigration law within Massachusetts receive compensation as detailed herein.
Base compensation varies significantly. Junior associates starting their practice can anticipate annual earnings of sixty to eighty thousand dollars ($60,000-$80,000). This figure applies mainly to public interest roles and smaller practices.
The sweet spot hits around $80K to $120K yearly – that’s your typical mid-career attorney who’s been at it for a few years. Get into the senior ranks or land a spot at one of the big Boston firms? Now you’re looking at $120,000 minimum, often pushing past $150K.
Boston’s expensive as hell and packed with immigrants needing legal help. The money follows. Some hotshot with their own shop could rake in way more, especially if they’re handling complex cases or high-volume work.
Figures represent base salary only. Additional compensation may include performance bonuses, profit sharing, and billable hour incentives as applicable under standard employment agreements.
