Texas A.G. Sues Immigration Scammer

October 31, 2014 (1 min read)

"The state attorney general has accused a San Antonio man of pretending to be an immigration lawyer and has filed a lawsuit to make him stop the practice.  Donato Arredondo, 62, solicited $171,000 in fees from immigrants in Austin two years ago to help them obtain legal status in the United States, according to the lawsuit filed in Travis County.  According to the lawsuit, Arredondo isn't a lawyer and isn't designated by the Board of Immigration Appeals to practice before an immigration judge.  Regardless of that, the lawsuit alleges, he met with immigrants in Austin and charged them $2,000 to $7,500, promising that their immigration applications would be approved, and then disappeared." - Jason Buch, San Antonio Express-News, Oct. 24, 2014.
