"In a 2005 litigation case, [Brian T.] Valery told a court in Stamford, Connecticut that he was a lawyer in good standing. Last week, Connecticut authorities arrested him, and he faces two month for the impersonating-a-lawyer charge and up to five years for perjury (the claim of being a lawyer in good standing).
"What’s great is how clients explain Valery’s ‘unimpressive’ skills; one Valery client told the NY Times, ‘All first- and second-year attorneys are pretty terrible.’"
