MIA YUGO

Mia runs our Federal Appellate and Whistleblower Protection practices. Her work focuses on complex civil litigation with a special interest in the separation of powers, eminent domain, healthcare fraud, white collar crime, retaliation, whistleblower protection, and protected activity. Mia also litigates novel constitutional issues involving agency power, the NGA, regulatory takings, the Non-Delegation Doctrine, the Major Questions Doctrine, and jurisdiction.   

Mia likes a challenge. She is meticulous in her work and has recovered millions of dollars for her clients. She often represents whistleblowers exposing corporate corruption or government overreach.  She also has extensive experience representing landowners fighting seizures of private land. 

In 2023, Mia achieved her first U.S. Supreme Court victory when, after years of contentious litigation, SCOTUS granted the petition for writ of certiorari that Mia authored, vacated the D.C. Circuit's 3-0 decision, and reopened her clients' case for further proceedings. 

Today, Mia is very selective in the cases she accepts. Because each case is different, no lawyer can guarantee success. But Mia is a straight shooter and not afraid of difficult issues.
