Spoke with a few of the locals (the men who work for the hotel, really) and I found some news, though not unusual, but disturbing.
They say that some US Lawyers are demanding thousands of dollars from their relatives for just “looking” at their cases. They said not one of those relatives has seen a form, statement, piece of paper, nothing. They only “paper” they have are receipts showing they paid in cash about 1 to 2 thousand dollars.
Immigrants, legal or not, are going to some US Lawyers and it’s the lawyers that are extorting monies from them without representation. If you know or see this “practice” being done, please contact the New York State Unified Court System and lodge a complaint: http://www.nycourts.gov/ip/attorneygrievance/complaints.shtml
What, wow what has this world come too!!! People need to watch their backs.
It seems that when people come to the US for freedom, that it becomes a prison for those who are helpless and those who take advantage of these people that only want to live the american dream and they work hard to get it. Its bad enough that they escaped persecution and poverty and then here comes a lawyer that’s is supposed to help and defend is now taking advantage of these poor souls. They should be stripped of their credentials and put in jail for stealing confidence,assurance, security and shaking the faith that is bestowed upon them by the very persons that called them for help.
Speak, Ms. Wanda!
