Serial plaintiff Alfredo Garcia deported to Mexico

LOS ANGELES (KABC) --

Alfredo Garcia, a notorious serial plaintiff, convicted felon and undocumented immigrant, has been deported to Mexico. Garcia made it his business to sue small businesses, filing more than 800 lawsuits against businesses in the Los Angeles area for alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Garcia hasn't held a job since he fell out of an avocado tree while he was drinking and high on cocaine about 18 years ago. Garcia's back was broken, his spinal cord severed. Since then, he's made a living off these lawsuits. It's incredibly profitable, for Garcia and his longtime attorney Morse Mehrban.

Based on previously disclosed settlements, Eyewitness News can estimate that Garcia has collected approximately $1.2 million from business owners since he began filing lawsuits in 2007.

This is infuriating. And as if all this wasn't enough:

"In light of his medical condition, ICE spent months working with Mexican consular representatives in advance of Mr. Garcia's removal to ensure he would receive continuing healthcare following his repatriation," said ICE spokesperson Virginia Kice in a statement to Eyewitness News.

My last job was at a General Practice law firm. By far, our biggest money maker was personal injury. Even non-existent injuries can fetch a few grand and settle for nuisance value. Litigation is expensive for any business regardless of size.

Anyway, one of my former clients has an identical profile to the filth described in the article.


This particular client is a morbidly obese Vietnam vet with a drinking problem. In less than three years, he brought the firm 30+ PI cases.  Everything from grocery store slip and falls to police abuse, fender benders and everything in between.   In addition to collecting disability from the federal gov't (phony PTSD claim) he receives free healthcare for life from the VA, welfare, food stamps, government subsidized housing, the works.  Several of his cases are still pending. None have ever gone to trial. Since 2011, he has pocketed nearly $100,000 in settlement money.  He drives around town in a new Escalade, wears a Cartier watch and has never worked a real job in his entire life.  

Only in America.
