In the News: He was supposed to fix immigration woes, now his clients face deportation
A community of Mexican laborers in Plant City have fallen victim to an immigration law scam and many are now facing deportation.
Tampa immigration lawyer Chelsea Nowel said if the victims move fast to get representation, they may still have a chance to gain legal status.
"Judges are appalled by this illegal practice of law," she said. If there's evidence of malpractice, she said they'll often work with attorneys to reopen cases. But other lawyers say the chances of success are slim.
