Paralegal Posing as Lawyer Wins 50 Cases

Remember Brian Valery, the paralegal who posed as a lawyer for two years at a New York law firm? On January 31, he was sentenced to five years of probation.

However, he must have done something right, according to UPI.com: "Valery worked as much as 70 hours a week and won some 50 cases. [emphasis added]

'I guess he got away with it so long because he was so talented, and so hardworking,' said Valery's lawyer, Bob LaRusso."
