April 01, 2012 (1 min read)

"Prominent Morningside Heights immigration attorney and small business booster Alfred Placeres has been lauded by Mayor Bloomberg and dished out advice on Telemundo. But this month, a Manhattan jury decided that Placeres owes a Venezuelan man a million dollars in damages after his case was bungled, landing him in immigration detention for more than a year. Placeres denies the allegations and says he plans to appeal." - Erica Pearson, NY Daily News, Mar. 30, 2012.
