Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law: State Bar and Federal Lawsuits

Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law is now the subject of at least two federal lawsuits, a USCIS fraud investigation, a federal criminal inquiry, and a Washington Attorney General’s Office investigation, all following the permanent loss of founder Alexandra Lozano’s law license in May 2026 over allegations that her Tukwila-based firm ran an assembly-line practice that filed false or baseless petitions for tens of thousands of immigrant clients.¹ The firm closed permanently on June 10, 2026, and former clients are being directed to seek independent counsel to review whatever was filed in their names.²

What the State Bar Accused Lozano of Doing

The Washington State Bar Association’s 11-page statement of alleged misconduct described a practice in which unlicensed staff handled initial consultations using memorized sales scripts, including promises of “100% protection” from immigration authorities.³ A computer program then set case strategy without any attorney reviewing the file.⁴

According to the bar, the firm filed green card applications for people it knew were ineligible, submitted Violence Against Women Act petitions containing fabricated or exaggerated abuse allegations, and stamped client signatures onto immigration forms the clients had never seen.¹ Former employees told KING 5 they were instructed to exaggerate domestic abuse claims and to manipulate digital signatures pixel by pixel in Microsoft Paint.⁵ Clients paid between $10,000 and $15,000 per case, fees the bar said were unreasonable given how much of the work was done by nonlawyers.⁴

The bar identified violations of seven Rules of Professional Conduct covering fees, conflicts of interest, supervision of nonlawyer staff, unauthorized practice of law, and dishonesty or fraud.¹ The scale was staggering. The firm had more than 35,000 clients, and Lozano’s signature appeared on nearly 54,000 petitions pending before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. On May 26, 2026, Lozano permanently resigned her law license rather than face a disciplinary hearing. She denied the allegations in her written resignation but said she would not defend herself and agreed to pay any restitution ordered.⁴

The Federal Lawsuits Pending Against Lozano

May 2026 Mass Action in Western Washington

On May 11, 2026, nine former clients filed a 50-page federal complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (Case No. 2:26-cv-01587). Named defendants include Alexandra Lozano Kennedy, Alexandra Lozano Immigration Law PLLC, Ally Lozano LLC, Salud Total LLC, and En Solidaridad LLC, a dissolved entity that allegedly provided psychological evaluations. The complaint brings claims for legal malpractice, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the Washington Consumer Protection Act, RICO Act violations, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy.⁶

The complaint describes concrete injuries. One plaintiff, Nora Patricia Murillo Moreno, was denied a green card and placed in deportation proceedings after being refused re-entry to the United States. Other plaintiffs alleged that VAWA declarations submitted in their names contained abuse claims they never made, that they were asked to sign blank sheets of paper, and that applications were rejected because the firm submitted digitized signatures where wet-ink originals were required.⁷ One couple alleged they paid Lozano more than $32,000 for legal services. Plaintiffs’ attorneys Aric Bomsztyk and Vicente Omar Barraza set up lozanocivilaction.com to connect other former clients with independent immigration attorneys.⁸

June 2026 Nationwide Class Action

On June 15, 2026, a separate proposed class action was filed in federal court seeking to represent potentially thousands of immigrants nationwide who hired the firm for humanitarian protections including VAWA petitions, T-visas, and U-visas. The suit names Lozano and several related business entities and alleges the firm operated as an assembly line staffed by non-attorney salespeople, offshore writing teams in Colombia, and standardized templates rather than individualized legal work.⁵

Government Investigations Still Open

Three separate government investigations were active as of mid-June 2026. The USCIS fraud division is reviewing cases handled by the firm, and that probe carries direct consequences for former clients. Immigration attorney Chelan Crutcher-Herrejon said at least one former client had already received a notice of intent to revoke a green card, and more such notices may follow.⁴

Federal authorities are also conducting a criminal investigation that could involve fraud and racketeering allegations, according to an attorney representing alleged victims. No criminal charges had been filed and no arrests had been made as of mid-June 2026.⁵ Separately, the Washington State Attorney General’s Office was conducting a pre-litigation investigation into whether the firm engaged in deceptive and unfair business practices, a probe first reported in July 2025.⁹

What Former Clients Should Do Now

The firm briefly rebranded as Luz Legal (formally La Luz del Camino Legal, PLLC) after Lozano’s resignation, then announced on June 10, 2026, that it was closing permanently and would cease all legal representation. It said it would send clients their files within 60 days and review cases to determine whether refunds were appropriate.¹⁰

If you were a client of the firm, the Washington State Bar Association has published three specific steps:

Get a second opinion from an independent immigration attorney about whatever was filed in your name, especially if you signed anything you did not read or if your case involved a VAWA, T-visa, or U-visa petition.
File a claim with the Washington State Bar’s Client Protection Fund for losses caused by dishonest conduct.
Submit a consumer complaint to the Washington Attorney General’s Office.²

More than two dozen attorneys and law firms are listed on lozanocivilaction.com to provide consultations to former clients.⁴ A second opinion is time-sensitive: if USCIS opens a fraud review of your case, receiving a notice of intent to revoke lawful status is a real possibility, and the response window is short.

Firms That Bought the Same Model

If you are researching a different immigration firm that used the “arreglar sin salir” (“fix without leaving”) slogan or business model, the litigation against Lozano may not cover you, but related lawsuits exist. A federal class action filed May 28, 2026, in the Southern District of Ohio accuses the Dublin, Ohio-based Lisinski Law Firm and its founder Angelyne Lisinski of running a nearly identical filing mill after purchasing the model from a Washington-based attorney roughly five years earlier. That complaint describes the same pattern: fabricated VAWA and T-visa petitions, mass use of electronic signatures, standardized templates, and fees of $12,000 to $20,000 per case. The attorney who filed the Lisinski suit, Robert Anthony Alvarez, told reporters he has filed four lawsuits against firms that used this specific model.¹¹
