Former San Antonio Immigration Attorney Sued for Consumer Fraud: Texas v. Esquivel

"Paul A. Esquivel, a well-known former immigration attorney with offices across the state, for years filed fraudulent paperwork for his clients, giving them temporary work permits but leaving them in danger of deportation, state prosecutors alleged in a lawsuit filed this week in San Antonio.  The Texas attorney general’s office said it doesn’t know how many people were affected by Esquivel, who last month gave up his law license to avoid sanctions.  In their lawsuit, prosecutors accuse him of engaging in deceptive trade practices." - Jason Buch, San Antonio Express-News, Sept. 25, 2015.
