Fighting for Habeas Corpus Rights in Los Angeles, Fullerton, Orange County, and Beyond
Habeas corpus is a powerful legal tool that protects individuals from being jailed or detained without lawful authority. At the Law Offices of Gita B. Kapur and Associates, we understand the emotional, mental, and financial toll of being detained for weeks or months away from your family and work. Founded in 2006, our firm is dedicated to serving immigration law clients across California and in federal courts nationwide, including the Central, Eastern, and Southern Districts of California.
With over 30 years of collective experience, our immigration attorneys are passionate about protecting the rights of immigrants, including those without documents. We believe in giving 100% to every client, and we are not afraid to challenge the government in federal court when your liberty is at stake.
Challenging Unlawful Detention in California With Habeas Corpus
If you or a loved one has been detained by immigration authorities for too long or without a valid legal basis, you may have the right to file a habeas corpus petition in federal court. This formal request asks a federal judge to review the legality of your detention and order your release if the detention is unlawful.
Our immigration lawyers will guide you through this process, reviewing your immigration and criminal history, gathering evidence, and advocating for your release.
What Makes Habeas Corpus So Important?
Habeas corpus safeguards individual freedom by preventing unlawful or prolonged detention, ensuring no one is held in custody without just cause.
Can a Habeas Corpus Petition Help One Become a Permanent Legal Resident?
No. While it may delay deportation, it only challenges the legality of your detention. It does not change an immigration court’s ruling on residency or grant a green card.
How Long Does a Habeas Corpus Petition Take?
The process can take weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule. In urgent situations, we push for faster action whenever possible.
