Lawsuits: Lawyer Promised 'Miracles' to Immigrants but Emptied Their Bank Accounts
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A lawyer in Washington state promised 'miracles' to tens of thousands of immigrants seeking legal status in the United States. Instead, Alexandra Lozano fabricated stories of domestic violence and human trafficking to apply for humanitarian visas without her clients' knowledge, according to several lawsuits and a legal ethics investigation. They claim she exploited the desperation of immigrants to drain their bank accounts while leaving them at risk of deportation. Lozano is accused of hiring workers without the proper legal credentials and building an assembly-line system to process applications hastily, even copying clients' signatures on documents they never saw. 'I put my family's trust in her,' said 30-year-old Gabriel Martínez García. After paying $30,000, he stated that Lozano deceived his family and caused his mother to face deportation proceedings despite her marriage to a naturalized U.S. citizen. 'We believed in her, and she let us down.'
