Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Fake Lawyer Sentenced to 12 Years: "SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - A convicted felon who posed as a lawyer and represented hundreds of clients has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Harold David Goldstein told the federal judge at his sentencing hearing Wednesday that he made sincere efforts to represent his clients despite his lack of a law license.
Goldstein, 59, told U.S. District Judge David Carter that he won 25 cases in the eight months that he operated a busy Newport Beach law practice.
``I lied about being a lawyer but other than the lie, everything else was totally legit,'' Goldstein said."
