A Washington state attorney is facing multiple lawsuits and a federal legal ethics investigation over an alleged immigration fraud scheme that targeted tens of thousands of vulnerable immigrants.
Attorney Alexandra Lozano allegedly promised legal status to clients through her now-shuttered firm, Luz del Camino Legal, but instead filed fabricated abuse claims without their knowledge or authorization.

Allegations and Client Impact
Bar regulators revealed that Lozano's name remains on more than 53,000 pending immigration cases, though she has permanently surrendered her law license following the shutdown of her firm this month.
Former clients alleged that the firm charged tens of thousands of dollars for “miracle” solutions, only for applicants to later discover their filings contained unauthorized signatures and false allegations of domestic or trafficking abuse.
Gabriel Martinez Garcia stated that his family paid approximately $30,000 after receiving assurances that the firm could secure legal status for his mother, who is married to a U.
S. citizen.
“We believed in her and then she just let us down,” said Martinez Garcia, a former client.
Martinez Garcia expressed deep concern that his mother now faces ongoing removal proceedings due to the unauthorized documents filed on her behalf.

“I’m just praying really, really, really hard for her,” he said.
Defense and Broader Context
In response to the allegations, the defense stated that clients were fully expected to review and sign their own paperwork before any official submission.
“Zealously pursued every lawful option,” said Angelo Calfo, Lozano's attorney.
Calfo further denied any corporate wrongdoing and suggested that any inaccuracies present in the voluminous filings were completely unintentional.
Former employees in Colombia alleged that the firm relied heavily on an overseas workforce and actively encouraged staff to invent details regarding client abuse to exploit lenient evidentiary standards within visa programs like the Violence Against Women Act.
