Houston Immigration Attorney Faces Malpractice Lawsuit Amid Legal Troubles
Houston-based immigration attorney Hugo Balderas-Ibarra is facing a $500,000 malpractice lawsuit filed by a couple in Somervell County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Balderas-Ibarra's mishandling of an immigration case led to the deportation of the husband, causing significant personal and financial harm to the couple. Balderas-Ibarra, who denies the allegations, is also dealing with a felony charge in Harris County for assaulting a family member. His legal practice is under scrutiny as he operates under a probationary law license in Texas, with a history of previous convictions in other states.
