There’s a cost to letting unfamiliarity with federal court make the decision for you.

Sometimes, referring a case out is absolutely the right call.

But that decision should come from evaluating the case—not simply from thinking, “I don’t practice in federal court.”

As a former AUSA, I understand why federal court can feel intimidating. The rules, the formal filings, the stakes—it can make you wonder whether you should just hand the case off.

But you already bring something valuable to the table: your immigration expertise.

You know the client.
You know their immigration history.
You understand the procedural posture.
You know what has already been tried and how the delay has affected the case.

A federal litigator may bring deep federal procedure experience, but they may not know the immigration side with the same level of context.

So the question isn’t whether every immigration attorney should handle federal litigation.

It’s whether you know enough to recognize when unreasonable delay litigation may be an option, evaluate the case, and make an informed decision about whether you can take it on.

That’s what this training is about: giving you a practical framework for understanding federal litigation so unfamiliarity doesn’t automatically take an option off the table.

If your client has been waiting long enough, it may be time to stop asking, “When will the government act?” and start asking, “Is this delay actionable?”

That’s where understanding unreasonable delay litigation can change the strategy.

📚 NOW SERVING: A FEDERAL LAWSUIT — Don’t Wait, Litigate
📅 October 20–29, Tues and Thurs
👩‍⚖️ Instructor: Lacy Brinson McAndrew

Inside this live intensive, you’ll learn how to:

⚖️ Evaluate and select potentially viable delay cases
⚖️ Draft and strengthen federal complaints
⚖️ Respond to government defenses
⚖️ Strategize from filing through resolution

You don’t have to keep referring delayed cases out just because federal court isn’t your usual practice area.

You can learn to recognize when a case may belong in federal court, understand what the government is likely to argue, and build a strategy that allows you to advocate for your client yourself.

Because when you stop referring these cases out, you may be able to retain that opportunity—and the associated revenue—in your own practice.

When waiting stops being a strategy, you need to know what comes next.

Your client has been waiting.

You’ve called. You’ve emailed. You’ve followed up. You’ve checked the case again.

And still—nothing.

At some point, “we’re still waiting” has to become a strategy question.

Is this delay potentially actionable?
Is this case appropriate for federal court?
What will the government argue?
And if you file—then what?

Sometimes, the next move isn’t another inquiry or another follow-up.

Sometimes, it’s federal court.
