Sherman Oaks Immigration Lawyers Charged with Visa Fraud
“Two Sherman Oaks immigration lawyers have been indicted for allegedly filing fraudulent visa applications, some of them for workers at their law firm, prosecutors said today. Daniel E. Korenberg, 57, and Steven James Rodriguez, 40, are named in a 33-count indictment. Both are charged with making false statements and conspiracy, and Korenberg is also charged with multiple counts of visa fraud. The two worked for one of the West Coast’s largest immigration law firms, which was formerly known as Korenberg, Abramowitz & Feldun — where Korenberg was a partner and Rodriguez was a senior associate. The firm hired paralegals and other office staff who were not authorized to work in the United States, according to prosecutors. It is now known as the ASK Law Group, and has offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Las Vegas, according to ICE. “
