Our Services

⚖️ Federal Litigation & Appeals

​

At Wisecup Legal, federal litigation isn’t just a service—it’s our foundation. Led by Jason Wisecup, a former U.S. Department of Justice attorney with deep experience in high-stakes immigration and appellate cases, our firm brings courtroom-tested strategy to every matter we handle. From district court mandamus actions to circuit-level petitions for review, we know how to challenge government overreach, navigate procedural complexity, and protect your rights with precision.

​

🏛️ Federal District Court Immigration Litigation

We represent clients in federal court when administrative remedies have failed or constitutional violations demand judicial intervention. Our litigation services include:

• Habeas Petitions: Challenging unlawful immigration detention, prolonged Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, and bond denials

• Mandamus Actions: Compelling Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the Department of State (DOS) to act on delayed applications (I-130, I-485, N-400, I-601, I-829, and more)

• APA Claims: Litigating unlawful denials (including denials of employment-based or business visas), revocations, and agency misconduct under the Administrative Procedure Act

• Denaturalization Defense: Protecting citizenship rights in civil denaturalization proceedings with constitutional rigor

​​

⚖️ Federal Appeals Court Immigration Litigation

When lower courts or agencies get it wrong, we take the fight to the U.S. Courts of Appeals. Wisecup Legal handles:

• Petitions for Review: Challenging Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decisions, asylum denials, Torture Convention claims, and removal orders

• Jurisdictional Strategy: Navigating procedural bars and preserving issues for appeal

• Circuit-Level Advocacy: Tailored briefing and oral argument aligned with each circuit’s jurisprudence
