    IIRC, she claimed to be a lawyer, but she’s never passed the bar exam. If she didn’t claim to be a lawyer, it wouldn’t be a thing.

      Not to be nitpicky, but you can be a lawyer without passing the bar. But to be an attorney, you have to pass the bar. Yes there is technically a difference. But here’s the thing most people aren’t going to understand that difference . If you’re claiming to be a lawyer, a lot of people will interpret that to be claiming to be an attorney.

      But she also claimed that she did work and in order to do said work you have to be an attorney. And that’s where a big problem because there’s no record of her passing the bar.
