Detention cases: a court-ready § 2241 habeas petition, built for the speed the practice demands.

A family-answerable intake collects the custody record, Lexfill grades the detention against the clocks that govern it, and the complete court filing package is assembled for your review.

When ICE detention drags on, the remedy is a habeas corpus petition in federal court — and it has to be filed in the district of confinement before a transfer moves the case. Lexfill now runs that pipeline end to end. A guided intake collects the custody record from whoever can answer it — your staff, or a family member you invite — covering the facility, every period in custody, the bond history, and the circumstances that give the facts weight. Lexfill then grades the detention against the clocks that govern it, drafts the petition from the record, and assembles the complete court filing package for your review.

  • An evidence-backed verdict before you commit — the detention analysis names the statute the custody runs under, shows its reasons, and flags what still needs your confirmation
  • Built for a detained client: the intake is family-answerable, and claims screening stays on the attorney worksheet
  • The package is court-shaped: the petition with its verification block, JS-44, AO 440 summonses per respondent, the certified-mail service set, and Rule 41 drafts held in reserve
