"As immigrants waited in South Texas detention centers to get legal help, a Boerne woman says she trolled the centers to round up clients for three immigration lawyers and eventually for herself, keeping a cut of attorneys fees in an illegal practice that went on for two years, court records show. The claim is laid out in depositions in a lawsuit filed by the state attorney general’s office, which accuses Alejandra Driskell and others of running their own law firm, even though they aren’t qualified to practice law. Driskell, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment, testified in a sworn deposition that she engaged in case-running — referring clients to lawyers — in exchange for a flat fee, a commission or bonuses as an employee for three different immigration lawyers. Known as barratry, the practice is illegal in Texas and can result in felony charges or disbarment. One of the lawyers Driskell worked for, Ronald Ray Higgins, agreed earlier this year to give up his law license. The state bar said Higgins paid a nonlawyer for referring an immigration case." - Jason Buch, San Antonio Express-News, Nov. 15, 2014.
