Re: impersonating an attorney?
Under Michigan law it is very illegal to impersonate an attorney. In many cases you can be fined and/or other sanctions can be imposed. Contact the Attorney General's Office in Lansing and present them with the details. They will take action in many cases, depending on the facts of the case.
