New Jersey man accused of operating phony law firm
BURLINGTON, N.J. (AP) – Officials said a New Jersey man was indicted on charges of operating a fraudulent law practice for over a decade.
U.S. Attorney Zane Memeger announced Thursday 62-year-old Leaford Cameron was charged with mail fraud, wire fraud and making false statements.
Prosecutors said Cameron defrauded at least 74 people from several states and multiple foreign countries while running the bogus firm out of his Burlington home.
Authorities said Cameron mostly represented clients in immigration court while operating the phony “Cameron & Associates” or “Cameron, Hamilton & Associates” from 2003 until March 2015.
Cameron is accused of using four Pennsylvania attorney identification numbers belonging to licensed lawyers.
It’s not known if he has a lawyer who can comment on the indictment.
