The group of District-area lawyers and their assistants accused of helping illegal aliens into the country used a scam that excluded U.S. citizens from getting the jobs, according to recently obtained federal court documents. As part of the certification process, lawyers Irwin Jay Fredman and Sergei Danilov and legal assistants Elnor Veliev and Alp Canseven had to certify that they had satisfied state and federal requirements to ensure that a job offered through an employer was "clearly open to any qualified U.S. worker," according to the documents.
