Licensed to be stupid but apparently not to practice law.

Natasha Riley, not pleased with the way things were going for her client, told a judge in the Brooklyn Family Court during a custody proceeding, "This is bullshit". Unfortunately for her, the judge would have the last word. Because most lawyers aren't dumb enough to address a judge that way [they know that truth is no defense to contempt], the judge became suspicious. He checked her out and it turns out that Ms. Riley, who had at least 8 clients, and 4 court appearances, is not a lawyer! Another judge, Justice Guy Mangano, Jr. put her on 5 years probation and ordered her to make restitution to her clients for the fees she charged.

OK. I didn't edit the expletive like the Daily Eagle did but what do you expect from a blog with a PG rating.
