They worked for years to adjust their status through appropriate
legal channels, but poor legal representation ruined their
opportunities. The Plascencias' lawyer refused to return their calls or otherwise
communicate with them in any way. He also failed to forward crucial
immigration documents. Because of the poor representation they
received, Alfredo only became aware that they had been ordered to leave
the United States 15 days prior to his scheduled deportation. Alfredo was shocked to learn of his attorney's malfeasance, but he
acted quickly to secure legitimate counsel and filed the appropriate
paperwork to delay his deportation and determine if any other legal
action could be taken. Together, Alfredo and Maria have used their professional successes,
with the assistance of private bills, to realize many of the goals
dreamed of by all Americans. They have worked hard and saved up to buy
their home.
