Woman who faked being a lawyer for nearly a decade was in line to be named partner when her fraud was discovered

    Kimberly Kitchen, 45, of James Creek, Pennsylvania, was charged on Thursday with forgery and unauthorized practice of law
    She allegedly forged a law license, bar exam results and an email showing she attended Duquesne University law school
    Kitchen also served as president of the Huntingdon County Bar Association
    She could face up to six years in prison if she's convicted

Kitchen handled estate planning for more than 30 clients 'despite never having attended law school, nor being admitted to the bar of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,' the attorney general said in a statement.

Kitchen was, however, the past president of the Huntingdon County Bar Association, said her attorney, Caroline Roberto.

'She's an incredibly competent person and she worked very diligently and was devoted to the people she served in the community,' Roberto said.

That this gal can so competently practice law for 10 years (without years of college), speaks volumes about the worth of a college education. She served as the president of the bar association for cryin out loud.

SUITS
While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter. Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory. Mike and Harvey are a winning team. Even though Mike is a genius, he still has a lot to learn about law.

Not a bad show, but it's in its 6th and winding down, I think.

Ya know what they say about LIARS (lawyers)

She obviously self-identifies as a lawyer, so in order not to cause her any emotional damage she should be included as a member of the ABA and allowed to practice law. Just give her the license and be down with it.

She's a translawyer!

This reminds me of the story out of California a few months ago of the fake engineers that did hundreds of homes that might now have to be torn down. Article never did say if they were illegals doing this.

Hundreds of buildings -- from houses to strip malls -- could face the wrecking ball after California authorities unraveled a decade-long scam involving a pair of phony building engineers who used stolen software to craft bogus blueprints
