Our Firm

Federal court action when it matters most

My Habeas Lawyer is the federal litigation arm of Gozel Law Firm PC. While we handle all immigration matters, this practice focuses on one mission: getting your loved one out of ICE detention through federal court action.

Established in 2019, our firm is powered by a team of immigration attorneys with years of federal court experience. We represent clients nationwide before U.S. District Courts, challenging prolonged detention, denied bond hearings, unlawful transfers, and due process violations.

Our legal team provides personalized counsel and strong representation before USCIS, Immigration Courts, and Detention Centers nationwide.

The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it. — U.S. Constitution, Art. I § 9

⚖️

Independent Oversight

Federal judges do not work for ICE or the DOJ. They are independent and can overrule ICE decisions.

No More Silence

Once we file, the government must respond by a strict deadline. They can no longer ignore your case.

🛡️

Constitutional Right

This right belongs to everyone in the U.S.—regardless of citizenship status. It is your ultimate shield.

🌍

OUR FIRM
