While the State Bar of Texas is normally responsible for stopping lawyers from defrauding the public, in an unusual move, the Harris County Attorney’s Office has stepped in to stop the practice of a Houston immigration attorney who allegedly took $140,000 from over 50 clients and offered them no legal work in return.
The prosecutor’s office recently filed the deceptive trade practice and fraud action in Harris County District Court against Prince Uchechi Nwakanma and The Prince Law Group and obtained a temporary restraining order that prevents Nwakanma from practicing as a lawyer and freezes the assets of his firm.
