Guedes charged client victims for their services, which ranged from representation in immigration proceedings to family reunification issues. Sometimes she posed as a licensed lawyer, who allegedly had no relation to her fictitious law firms.

As part of her fraudulent scheme, Guedes filed legal and immigration applications using her former classmate’s name and Florida lawyer number, and also acted several times in the Orlando Federal Immigration Court and Hillsborough County Court as a licensed lawyer.

Guedes continued her fraudulent scheme using personal information from other victims. For example, she used the social security number, date of birth, and other identity information of one victim to open bank accounts, credit cards, and other lines of credit for personal expenses and business-related expenses for her fictitious law firms.

Any person who is likely to be a victim or who knows who could become one is strongly advised to contact the Internal Security Service at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or link.
