Viral immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano is closing her Seattle boutique amid fraud allegations as clients face deportation over her false claims on their green card applications.
Immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano called herself a “miracle lawyer” as her career took off and soared, claiming to have fixed cases that were impossible to win. The Seattle-based lawyer, now dubbed a fraud, lived a lavish life with her private jet emblazoned with “Abogada” (Lawyer).
Nine people from Washington filed a lawsuit against Lozano, accusing her of misleading his clients and forcing them to make false statements to immigration authorities.The lawsuit said Lozano advised people to apply for immigration benefits when they were not eligible for them, and also advised them to make inaccurate or misleading statements to immigration officials. It also provided documents bearing customer signatures without reviewing them.
She filed green card applications with false information, charged exorbitant fees, initiated immigration processes she knew were doomed to fail, made employees memorize scripts to make deceptive promises, and devised legal strategies based solely on a computer program without her or other lawyers at her firm reviewing the files.Some said they were facing deportation proceedings because of Lozano’s lies.In the wake of the complaint, Lozano resigned her law license to avoid disciplinary action, but now her firm has also announced it will close its doors.
