For years, immigration attorney Alexandra Lozano cultivated an image of hope for Latino immigrants seeking legal status in the United States. Her law firm became known for its Spanish-language advertising, promises of life-changing immigration relief, and the prominent use of the Virgin of Guadalupe—a sacred symbol of faith, protection, and hope for millions of Mexican and Latino Catholics. The branding earned her the nickname “The Lawyer of Miracles,” suggesting that she could achieve what many believed was impossible.
But that image began to unravel.
Former clients filed lawsuits accusing Lozano and her firm of submitting immigration applications that contained false or unauthorized information, including petitions under humanitarian programs such as VAWA and T visas. Some clients alleged that signatures were placed on documents without their consent or that personal declarations included statements they had never made. Lozano has denied wrongdoing in the civil litigation, and many of the allegations remain the subject of ongoing court proceedings.
As the cases expanded, the impact reached far beyond Washington state. The firm had represented immigrants across the country, including many in Southern California. Public reports indicate that former clients from the Los Angeles area were among those who later questioned how their immigration cases had been handled, adding to what has become a proposed nationwide class action involving thousands of former clients.
In 2026, Lozano resigned from the Washington State Bar in lieu of disciplinary proceedings and is permanently barred from practicing law in Washington. She was also suspended from practicing before U.S. immigration authorities. Those disciplinary actions are separate from the unresolved civil lawsuits, but together they marked a dramatic fall for an attorney whose public image had been built on faith, trust, and the promise of miracles.
The contrast is striking: the same Virgin of Guadalupe that symbolized hope for many immigrant families became, for critics, a reminder of the trust they believed had been betrayed. Whether the courts ultimately validate every allegation remains to be seen, but for many former clients, the story is no longer about miracles—it is about the consequences of placing their futures in the hands of someone they believed they could trust.
