Rapid Case Audit (48 Hours)
We analyze the A-File and detention history immediately to identify every possible legal opening. This fast-track review ensures we build a foundation for release from the very first moment we take your case.
Strategic Filing
We draft and file a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in the appropriate U.S. District Court. By moving the case into the federal system, we bypass the backlogged immigration courts to demand a higher level of review.
The Government Response
We force the Department of Justice to defend the detention in writing and justify why your loved one is held. This high-pressure tactic puts the burden of proof on the government, where it belongs under the law.
Litigation & Hearing
We argue the merits of the case before a Federal Judge to secure your loved one’s freedom and return them home. Our team provides aggressive representation in the courtroom to ensure your family's rights are fully protected.

How It Works: The Legal Process
How long does a Habeas case take?
Federal judges move much faster than the immigration backlog. While every court varies, our goal is a resolution in weeks, not years.
Is this the same as a Bond Hearing?
No. A Habeas petition asks a Federal Judge to rule that detention is unconstitutional, often forcing the court to grant a hearing.
Can we file if they have a record?
Yes. These are the cases that need Habeas the most. We specialize in navigating "mandatory detention" hurdles to secure a release.
What if there is a deportation order?
You can still file. If the government cannot deport someone quickly, federal law may require they be released from ICE custody.
