Immigration & Naturalization (INS)

A lot, of Immigration Attorneys take advantage of immigrants.

- They over charge or charge for misc. fees (like notary fees/excessive fees for translations)
- They submit applications knowing they will be denied to then charge you to file an appeal that might not be granted.
 
Note: If you came in to the U.S. illegally, marrying a U.S. Citizen is not going to help you gain legal status. Your best bet is to go back to your country and have your fiancé petition for you.


Before hiring an immigration attorney do your research.

Fabiola Gomez
Charges:
BAIL BONDSMAN REGULATION VIOLATION 2 CNTS

Juan Tomas Gomez
Charges:
BAIL BONDSMAN REGULATION VIOLATION 2 CNTS
GRAND THEFT 3RD DEGREE 2 CNTS

Fabiola Gomez has a prior, she was arrested in December of 2006 for Grand Theft 1st degree, False Report, 2 CNTS of Forgery and 2 CNTS of Uttering Forged Instruments. Luckily, her case was dismissed. You would think that she would govern her self accordingly and stay away from conducting inappropriate business.

On the other had her co-defendant, possibly also her husband Juan Tomas Gomez has an extensive criminal record. Starting in 1985 for Forgery, Uttering Forged Instruments, and 2 CNTS of Grand theft 2nd Degree. Last known arrest being in 2002 for Grand Theft 3 Degree.

Fabiola Gomez is a licensed bail bondsman per the records held with the Department of Financial Services, however they state that she is not appointed with any agency to conduct business. On the other hand Juan Tomas Gomez has never been a licensed bondsman.

With this being said, how many families did they take advantage of? How much money have they taken for services not rendered?
