Attorney General Abbott Gets $10 Million Judgment Against Houston Immigration Services Scam; Largest penalties to date for immigration-related consumer protection violations

HOUSTON – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today announced a nearly $10 million judgment against a fraudulent Pasadena-based immigration consultant

who misrepresented her qualifications and authority to provide legal advice and immigration-related services.

The judgment for civil penalties and restitution was filed in the 295th Judicial District in Harris County against Yolanda Perez, in response to a

suit the Attorney General filed in February 2005 against her and her sham nonprofit corporation for violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
