George C Maroun Law Office is an immigration law practice that has been subject to significant legal action by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office for engaging in deceptive and exploitative practices. The firm, which maintained offices in Somerville, Woburn, Chelmsford, and Stoneham, primarily targeted Brazilian immigrants with limited English proficiency, leading to a court order barring the attorney from future immigration services and requiring substantial financial penalties.
The office was found to have repeatedly violated the state’s Consumer Protection Act by filing applications without client consent, providing false guarantees of legal status, submitting asylum applications containing false information, and using threats of deportation to collect fees. These practices exposed clients to high risks of denial and removal proceedings, demonstrating a pattern of exploitation rather than legitimate legal assistance.
