Immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano, who had called herself the “lawyer of miracles” as her career took off, is facing a lawsuit filed by nine clients. According to the lawsuit, Lozano advised people to apply for immigration benefits when they didn’t qualify for them and to make inaccurate or deceptive statements to immigration officials.
The lawsuit also alleged that she submitted documents with client signatures without their review, filed green card applications with false information, charged exorbitant fees, initiated immigration processes she knew were doomed to fail, had staff memorize scripts to make deceptive promises, and devised legal strategies relying solely on a computer program without her or other attorneys at her firm reviewing the files. Some clients said they are facing deportation because of Lozano’s false claims.

A fraud division of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has also been investigating Lozano, according to a report by Seattle Times. The state attorney general’s office was, as of last July, conducting a “pre-litigation investigation” of Lozano’s firm into whether it engaged in deceptive and unfair business practices, according to a record obtained from that office through public disclosure mentioned by the report.
Lozano responded to these charges by resigning her law license to avoid disciplinary action. She denied misconduct, but said was choosing not to defend herself against the bar’s allegation. She agreed to pay restitution that may be ordered by a committee reviewing the matter. The resignation is permanent and means that she cannot practice law in any state nor be affiliated with the law firm she founded, according to bar spokesperson Sara Niegowski. Her firm — which was originally named after Lozano but recently changed its name to Luz Legal —also shut down.
The firm announced that it would be closing and would no longer provide legal representation, describing the decision as a painful one made after years of what it called mounting challenges and “unjust scrutiny.”

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce that our law firm will be closing its doors and will no longer be providing legal representation,” the firm said in a statement. “As many of you know, our firm has faced increasing challenges and unjust scrutiny in recent years. After careful consideration, we have determined that closing the firm is the best course of action.”
The statement added that the decision “was not made lightly” and emphasized that clients “have always been at the center of everything we do.”
“For Alexandra, our Founder and former lead attorney, every client was like a member of her family and she cared deeply for each and every case,” the firm said. “It is heartbreaking for her and the team that we have had to take this drastic step.”
