"Right next to the Safeway at Mission and 30th streets, nestled between a La Altena taqueria and a Stiiizy pot dispensary, sits a storefront calling itself Lacayo. Its website advertises tax preparation and notary services, but the same storefront also advertises Iscandari Law Group. We have seen some right-wing political signs in the window, though never a Trump sign, but Mission Local has popped in during 2016 and saw Trump signs on the office's interior."
"The fact that Mission Local visited in 2016 is no accident, as proprietor Leo Lacayo was accused at the time of fraudulently impersonating an immigration attorney. This has apparently been going on for nearly nine years since, as today the Chronicle reports that a court just fined Lacayo $600,000 for what the City Attorney calls an unlawful and predatory immigration consulting business."
A Mission District storefront at Mission and 30th presented itself as Lacayo and advertised Iscandari Law Group while offering tax preparation and notary services. The office displayed conservative political signage and previously showed Trump signs inside during 2016. Proprietor Leo (Leonard) Lacayo has been accused since 2016 of fraudulently impersonating an immigration attorney. The business allegedly operated for nearly nine years, charging immigrants thousands for shoddy and bogus legal work. A court ordered Lacayo to pay $600,000 after the City Attorney called the operation an unlawful, predatory immigration consulting business that targeted vulnerable immigrants amid mass deportations.
