Frequently Asked Questions

What does habeas corpus mean?
Habeas corpus is Latin for "you shall have the body." It is a legal right that allows any person held in detention to go before a federal judge and have the government explain β€” and legally justify β€” why they are being held. If the government cannot provide adequate legal grounds, the person must be released.
Can undocumented immigrants file a habeas corpus petition?
Yes. Habeas corpus protections apply to any person on U.S. soil, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Undocumented immigrants, visa holders, and green card holders can all file habeas corpus petitions to challenge unlawful detention.
How quickly can you file a petition?
When detention involves imminent harm or a clear constitutional violation, we treat it as an emergency. The faster you contact us, the faster we can assess and act. Call (770) 525-2096 to speak with our team today.
What happens if the court grants the petition?
If the court finds the detention unlawful, the government must release the person. The court may also order a bond hearing, impose conditions on future detention, or grant other forms of relief depending on the case.
Is habeas corpus the same as fighting a deportation order?
Not exactly, but they can work together. A habeas corpus petition challenges the legality of the detention itself. It can be used alongside removal defense strategies to delay deportation, secure a proper hearing, or protect due process rights.
How much does it cost?
We charge a flat fee β€” a clear price upfront with no hidden hourly billing. Payment plans are available. Contact us to discuss your situation with no commitment required.
