Walls close in on ‘miracle lawyer’ Alexandra Lozano who flew around the West Coast in pink private jet

A “miracle lawyer” who built a massive immigration firm serving Spanish-speaking people is facing a sweeping federal class-action lawsuit accusing her of fraud.

The suit, reviewed by The California Post, was filed June 15 in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington by lead plaintiff Maria Guadalupe Diaz Toscano against Seattle-based immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano Kennedy and her law firm La Luz del Camino Legal PLLC.

It claims the company systematically targeted undocumented immigrants with promises of legal relief before steering them into costly immigration applications that plaintiffs claim had little chance of success.

The proposed class-action suit could encompass thousands of clients across the US.

The complaint also notes Lozano has publicly claimed to have helped “thousands and thousands and thousands” of immigrants, while citing a Washington State disciplinary complaint alleging her signature appears on 53,923 petitions pending with US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the suit says.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violating the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO act, breaching fiduciary duties owed to clients and violating Washington’s Consumer Protection Act through what plaintiffs characterize as deceptive business practices.

“This is a federal class action brought seeking comprehensive civil remedies for a multi-million-dollar industrialized immigration factory disguised as a legitimate law practice,” the complaint states.

The allegations have surfaced alongside reports that Lozano amassed a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio and traveled around the West Coast aboard a pink private jet reportedly worth about $25 million.

According to the lawsuit, Lozano marketed herself to immigrants as the “abogada de los milagros,” or “lawyer of miracles,” allegedly using religious imagery, including the Virgen de Guadalupe, to promote her services while promising immigration “miracles” to desperate clients.

The complaint alleges the firm relied on what it calls “narrative engineering” to mass-produce humanitarian immigration petitions, including Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitions and T-visa applications, instead of conducting individualized legal evaluations.

“The Lozano Firm relied upon a standardized methodology of ‘narrative engineering’ to generate non-viable, structurally fabricated humanitarian claims at scale,” the lawsuit alleges.

Plaintiffs further claim non-lawyer sales staff working on commission made substantive legal determinations while attorneys largely handled interviews and court appearances.

The lawsuit also alleges Lozano permitted employees to use a stamp bearing her signature to certify thousands of immigration filings submitted under penalty of perjury despite allegedly never personally consulting many of the clients whose applications she certified.

According to the complaint, clients were instructed to electronically sign documents before reviewing completed applications in their native language, allowing their signatures to later be placed on immigration filings without their knowledge.

In Diaz Toscano’s case, the lawsuit alleges USCIS determined her signature had been copied onto one application instead of being personally signed.

The lead plaintiff claims she paid more than $10,000 in legal fees, another $3,000 in government filing fees and an additional $1,200 for a psychological evaluation allegedly required by the firm.

The lawsuit further alleges clients routinely paid between $10,000 and $25,000 per case only to have their applications rejected or denied, potentially jeopardizing future immigration benefits and exposing some to removal proceedings.

“It was a deliberate, profit-driven enterprise that exploited immigrants’ desperation for legal status, their limited English proficiency, and their inability to navigate complex immigration law,” the complaint states.

The allegations come as federal immigration officials have issued a public notice directed at Lozano’s former clients.

Lozano resigned from the Washington State Bar in lieu of discipline on May 26 and is permanently barred from practicing law in the state, according to USCIS.

The agency said she closed her law firm on June 10, and on June 18 the Board of Immigration Appeals suspended her from practicing before the Department of Homeland Security, including USCIS, the immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals.

USCIS is urging former clients with pending immigration cases to update their mailing addresses so their applications can continue to be processed and advised that applicants may also withdraw pending petitions or request copies of their immigration files through the Freedom of Information Act.

As the legal battle unfolds, former clients and immigration attorneys say they fear the alleged fallout could affect thousands of immigrants.

Attorney Vicente Omar Barraza, who represents dozens of former clients, told ABC30 that Lozano built her practice by targeting “a vulnerable market, a fearful market, a desperate market” and using religious messaging to market what clients believed were legitimate pathways to legal status.

“She found this market, a vulnerable market, a fearful market, a desperate market, and created a system that reported with religious imagery to produce miracles, and now their miracles are turning into nightmares,” Barraza said.

Barraza also alleged the firm’s emphasis on VAWA and T-visa cases was financially motivated and claimed much of the work on those cases appeared to have been completed by teams in Colombia and Mexico.

“I’m certain there’s probably thousands of victims in California and maybe a couple hundred if not more in the Fresno area,” Barraza said.

In a statement provided to ABC30, Lozano’s attorney disputed the claims, saying: “Alexandra denies the allegations that have been raised by a small number of the thousands of individuals she has represented. She will address those allegations fully in court.”
