Immigration law firm founded by Alexandra Lozano shuts down

The sprawling, multimillion-dollar immigration law firm founded by Alexandra Lozano announced Wednesday it is closing its doors, leaving questions about what will happen to tens of thousands of clients the Tukwila-based firm represented.

The announcement by the firm, now known as Luz Legal or La Luz del Camino Legal, comes two weeks after Lozano permanently gave up her law license rather than face a disciplinary hearing for alleged misconduct by the Washington State Bar Association. Lozano was sued in May by nine former clients alleging the firm's services were "illusory, negligent, and even fraudulent."

"As many of you know, our firm has faced increasing challenges and unjust scrutiny in recent years. After careful consideration, we have determined that closing the firm is the best course of action," La Luz's statement says. "This decision was not made lightly. Our clients have always been at the center of everything we do, and making this announcement is one of the most difficult moments in our firm's history."

The announcement, directed at clients, also says that "a team of attorneys who may have worked on your case previously are taking on clients from Luz Legal" and links to a form to request that the case be transferred to them.

The names of the attorneys are not given.

That strikes Tacoma immigration attorney Gustavo Cueva as "shady."

"They're still trying to retain clients and send them to a team of attorneys," Cueva said. "Who they are, we don't know. Who they work for, we don't know."

This is a developing story.
