>>;) You're welcome. I helped with the activism end of that. Gosh, I don't even remember all the places, it's been so long. I'm sure I wrote about it and passed the word all over.<<
LMAO! I should have known. :D The other person involved in spreading the word was the then-spouse and still-friend of one of my fledglings. He was, at the time, an investigative reporter. (He's still a reporter, and a damned good one; he just takes fewer risks because now he has kids.) He asked me for an exclusive, which I cheerfully gave him. The story was picked up by, IIRC, AP, and took off as if jet propelled. The phone call that startled me most was from a cousin from Haifa who was a journalist there. "Aliza?" "Oh, hi Shoshana." "Wait - this American lawyer is you?" "Yep!" Talk about small-world-itis.
>>You should certainly be able to nail him for fraud.<<
Not without involving people I don't want to damage. Unlike him, I'm ethical even when I'm angry.
>>Contact whoever issues law licenses in your state, and tell them he's lying. Point them to the relevant case. If they choose to investigate, they should be able to access the material without you needing to do it. And you might like to point out that if he's lying about this, he's quite probably lying about other things. How much of the professional credentials he told them are even true? And do they want to back that? Perhaps not.><
His credentials for licensing were verified before he was admitted. He attended law school in Indiana, and sat (and passed) the bar exam. He even had to pass a "moral fitness" interview; everyone has to. (Mine, in 1982, had me gritting my teeth; my examiner was a master mason who had opinions about women's proper sphere. But I passed. Probably helped that I was 23, very sweet, and looked 17.)
I'm planning to call the director of the Disciplinary Commission, whom I know, this week, to ask him what my options might be without doing harm to innocent bystanders.
