Complaint Description
Around July 2021, my mother and I hired Mr. Kofi Amankwaa (BAR # 2742773) to help us adjust my
mother's immigration status. During my first meeting with Mr. Kofi, he assured me that he would
immediately send paperwork to immigration to help my mother get legal status. Despite me asking, Mr.
Kofi refused to explain in detail what applications he was sending to immigration or what the
process looked like. From July 2021 up to the present, I have been asking what applications he has
been submitting to immigration and how long it would take. At no point in the representation, did
Mr. Kofi or his son Junior, his legal assistant, tell me that they were filing fraudulent
applications. Specifically, they never told me nor my mom that they submitted an application to
immigration where they falsely claimed that my mother was a victim of abuse by her US citizen child,
myself. It was not until I requested my mother's personal file that we realized that they submitted
fraudulent immigration forms, forged letters and documents and submitted fraudulent evidence. For
example, in the I-360, they claimed that my mother is seeking legal status because she is a victim
of abuse by a US citizen child which is holly untrue. They then submitted falsified letters from my
uncle, brother and family friend who allegedly witnessed the abuse my mother endured. However, I
spoke to these people and they confirmed that they never wrote nor signed any of these letters. This
demonstrates that Mr. Kofi and his son submitted fraudulent documentation to immigration on behalf
of my mother. On November 17, 2023, I emailed Mr. Kofi and Junior why they submitted and forged
these documents. To no surprise, they did not respond. I also asked for a full refund and they also
ignored my request. Because of their deceiving practices, my mother is now at risk of being placed
in deportation proceedings and likely being deported and being separated from her family.

The Attorney General is not my private attorney, but represents the public in enforcing laws designed to protect the
public from misleading or unlawful business practices. My filing this complaint does not mean that the Attorney
General has initiated a lawsuit or proceeding on my behalf or that it will do so.
The Attorney General cannot give me legal advice or represent me in court. If I have any questions concerning my
legal rights or responsibilities, I should contact a private attorney.
In order to resolve my complaint, the Attorney General may send a copy of my complaint and any documents I
provide to the person or business about whom I am complaining and I authorize that person or business to release
information concerning my complaint to the Attorney General.
The Attorney General works with other state, local and federal government agencies to investigate complaints and
