Phony Immigration Attorney Indicted on Felony Charges

The dangers of those posing as immigration lawyers even though they are unlicensed were again highlighted on Monday in New York. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office indicted a man posing to be an immigration lawyer on charges of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree, Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree, Unauthorized Practice of Law, and violations of various subsections of the Immigration Assistance Services Law. All too typically, this man defrauded people out of thousands of dollars, promised them green cards which never materialized, and disappeared when they tried to contact him about what had happened with their cases. If he is convicted, he could spend more than 7 years in prison.
