Immigration Litigation Services

Resolve complex situations.

Delays in adjudicating cases.

Erroneous agency decisions.

Criminal and forfeiture issues.

If immigration agencies are failing to award you the benefits to which you are entitled, it may be time to go to court.  We can help you decide whether a federal suit may be the right course to resolving your issues—and we bring deep litigation experience to the table. 

Here’s how:

Experienced immigration litigators.

Our Government Strategies and Compliance group has a dedicated branch that is focused on immigration-specific litigation. Through their honed litigation skills, our professionals have successfully resolved numerous difficult situations where our clients and their employees experienced business disruptions and financial hardship.

The team includes litigators, those who previously served as senior government officials, white-collar lawyers and compliance professionals who regularly handle the most complex immigration matters under consideration by government agencies and the federal courts.

Unlike other litigators who practice across a wide range of areas, our professionals are 100% dedicated to immigration. As a result, they have unparalleled knowledge and experience in immigration law and process.

Challenge agency decisions.

We have the ability to counsel you on the best path forward in the face of an erroneous decision that can result from overlooking evidence to misconstruing law.  Sometimes that path goes through one of the internal agency appellate bodies, while other times it makes more sense to head directly to federal court.  We can help you choose the right venue for challenging government decisions and can help you get the immigration benefits you’re entitled to.

Eradicate delays.

Delays plague the immigration system at every level from visa requests to naturalization, and those delays can have disastrous real-world and real-life effects. If you have been forced to wait too long for the government to decide your case, it may be time to file mandamus litigation in federal court to compel the government to take action.

Protect your investment.

Sometimes a company's use of the immigration system can result in criminal scrutiny that threatens the company's business and assets. We regularly represent clients facing criminal investigations or charges in federal court and can counsel you on potential defensive strategies.
