Impersonated an attorney in the Court Clerk's office, while helping my friend (whose children were truly in danger) file an emergency request to see a judge.
The judge was in session and we had the request sent in to the judge.

The Court Clerk kept asking me questions, yet I stayed one step ahead of her by asking my own questions. She never had her questions answered. She agreed to bring the matter to the judge. (She was trying to figure out if I was a new attorney in town or one from a different area.)

I was "dressed" for court and "ready to do whatever I had to do" to help my friend and her children, they were in serious danger from her ex and she had been court-ordered to hand the children over to him for the weekend. We were seeking help in keeping the children safe ( and also wanted to document the danger and document a request for court assistance due to the danger).

She could then do whatever she had to do, as her emergency request for help was "on file" at the court house .

What was I thinking?
I have no idea how I did this. I was lucky I was never caught or charged for impersonating an attorney.
Shocked myself. My pdoc thought it was funny.
