Years ago now, I had posed as a lawyer. I had accompanied a friend. Her ex-husband was terrorizing her and their two children. He was very unstable and everyone considered him dangerous. He had visitation rights and was going to take the children in two days. Yikes.

We went to the court, wrote out a statement about the issue at hand, had it notarized right there with the court clerk. I then had asked the court clerk to take the statement to the judge. The judge was on the bench, involved in a trial. The court clerk kept telling me she did not recognize me and was a new lawyer in town? I kept ignoring her question and would immediately ask another question of her. Long story short,my friend received a temporary order and did not have to honor the visitation order on the upcoming weekend.

I was later shocked that I had done this. I have no idea as to where I had gotten the courage to do such a thing. Luckily, I had refused to give the clerk a name or any other information. I am sure there was a camera. I had never claimed to be an attorney.: yet someone could argue I was still impersonating one. For a long time, I'd wondered if this was going to come back and bite me. Lol!
