FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — A group of former clients has filed a lawsuit accusing immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano, who marketed herself as the “Miracle Lawyer,” of defrauding thousands of her vulnerable immigrant clients.
According to the complaint, Lozano used religious imagery, including La Virgen de Guadalupe, in her marketing while allegedly charging clients thousands of dollars for immigration services. The lawsuit was filed by dozens of former clients represented by attorney Vicente Omar Barraza.
“She found this market, a vulnerable market, a fearful market, a desperate market, and created a system that reported with religious imagery to produce miracles, and now their miracles are turning into nightmares,” Barraza said.
The complaint alleges Lozano filed fraudulent immigration documents and used unauthorized electronic signatures. Barraza said the firm concentrated on specific immigration cases because they generated higher fees.
“She focused on VAWA and T Visa cases because she could charge more and then most of the work appears to have been done in Columbia in Mexico,” Barraza said.
The allegations come as Action News has learned Lozano maintained a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio and traveled in a pink private jet valued at about $25 million.
Barraza said the alleged practices have had serious consequences for clients seeking legal status in the United States.
