Attorney Maria Mendoza of DC; thieving fraudster

The state of District of Columbia provided Maria C. Mendoza with a law license in 1991 after she graduated from Antioch University Law School.

The D.C. Court of Appeals found Maria guilty of the following misconduct.

In one matter, Maria engaged in dishonesty, deceit, and misrepresentation with respect to a factoring agreement for Criminal Justice Act (CJA) vouchers that she entered into with another party. Maria submitted at least 27 false CJA vouchers, with the intent to mislead the other party into believing that the vouchers had been submitted to the court, in order to obtain advance funds on cases that had not been completed.

As a direct consequence of her misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the D.C. Court of Appeals punished Maria by gifting her with a complimentary 90-day suspension of her law license.

As we speak (ca. March 2017), Maria practices at 419 7^th Street NW in Washington, DC.
