According to you, but Heidi since you don't have two brain cells to rub together I seriously doubt that you could accurately calculate the SofL.The Statute of Limitations has run out on all of the credit cards I've defaulted on.
Florida law requires that, to hold oneself out as a "paralegal", one must be working under the supervision of a specific attorney. Rule 20-1.1 states that the various Rule 20 subdivisions "set forth a definition that must be met in order to use the title paralegal". Rule 20-2.1 then defines "paralegal":Red Cedar PM wrote:Forgive the softball question from a non-attorney, but couldn't someone be prosecuted criminally for fraud for hanging a shingle saying that you are a paralegal when you really aren't one? If so, we should report this to the relevant state / county authorities.
In other words, you can't just hang out a shingle and call yourself a "paralegal", even with a certificate from the "Millman College of Paralegal Knowledge" (apologies to Johnny Carson). Still, I don't know that Heidi is doing that. She calls herself a "paralegal" on Sooey, but if she isn't practicing, she isn't committing unauthorized practice.(a) Paralegal. A paralegal is a person with education, training, or work experience, who works under the direction and supervision of a member of The Florida Bar and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a member of The Florida Bar is responsible.
Perhaps, along about 2020, Heidi will catch up with the events of 1971.It seems to me that a case could be made that our currency is no longer backed by precious metals
Ordinarily I wouldn't point out a typo by someone I like, but the 'official' document being referenced spells it Tunipseed (not ...speed) ---- and I am willing to bet that this is, itself, a misspelling of Turnipseed (with an R).She appears to be using the name Heidi Tunispeed.

As I mentioned on another thread here, I'm grateful to you for pointing out the criteria for doing business as a paralegal. I had no idea. The so-called "paralegal" I used for my first 2 and 1/2 pleadings is not licensed, either. Fortunately I never "practiced" -- I have never been paid for helping anyone with their legal writing and drafting.
Of course "ignorance of the law is no excuse".
Sorry, but I can't resist one more quote from the learned "paralegal" on Sooey, posted last night:Perhaps, along about 2020, Heidi will catch up with the events of 1971.It seems to me that a case could be made that our currency is no longer backed by precious metals

Characterizing that seemingly perfectly serious statement as "sarcasm" has a certain revisionist quality.It seems to me that a case could be made that our currency is no longer backed by precious metals, and therefore our national debt isn't either. All our Gov't has promised to repay to foreign creditors are "dollars" - vapor money - backed by nothing.... (except the "full faith and credit of the American people"?????)
As well as an unauthorized practice violation, calling oneself a paralegal (when one is not licensed) and accepting money could be prosecuted under 18 USC sections 1341/1343 as wire and mail fraud. To reverse the McNally decision, Congress added 18 USC sec 1346, defining fraud to include the depivation of an intangible right to honest services. Even if the paralegal services had value, if one intentionally mischaracterized one's status and right to offer such services, a fraud prosecution would be possible.Red Cedar PM wrote:Forgive the softball question from a non-attorney, but couldn't someone be prosecuted criminally for fraud for hanging a shingle saying that you are a paralegal when you really aren't one?

Ah HAH... NOW you decide to put the first part of that sentence back into (at least partial) context... but ONLY when it serves your present purpose.

Such poor reading comprehension and short-term memory retention skills really should preclude you from debating on quatty... unless, of course, the general consensus is not to bother about a few leaky sieves poisoning the well.jcolvin2 wrote:As well as an unauthorized practice violation, calling oneself a paralegal (when one is not licensed) and accepting money could be prosecuted under 18 USC sections 1341/1343 as wire and mail fraud.

It's just like you Fed Res Tools to attack someone for actually appreciating valuable information and correcting an honest mistake.

5C bill - Nelson Mandela on the front, assorted African wildlife on the reverse
10C bill - Alfred Nobel on the front, the Alps on the reverse
