News / Suit claims notary duping customers

The Arkansas attorney general’s office has accused a Springdale notary public of misleading Hispanic customers into thinking she is a lawyer. Deputy Attorney General Jim DePriest filed a lawsuit Friday against Victoria Nimroozi, who owns Latin Community Services and operates under the name Vicky Carreon. Nimroozi is accused of violating a part of the Consumer Protection Act requiring “notarios” to advertise in writing in Spanish and English that they aren’t licensed attorneys.

The scheme plays on the misconception that a “notario publico” is a specially trained lawyer, which is true in many Latin American countries.

The suit in Washington County Circuit Court seeks an injunction to make Nimroozi follow the disclosure law. It may seek restitution if it is learned that Nimroozi charged fees for legal advice.

She has been in business at 1221 S. Thompson St. for about two years, DePriest said.

Anyone with information can call attorney general investigator Mariel Henderson at (501 ) 683-3130.
