Is it illegal to impersonate an attorney?
For the past several weeks my wife and I have been deluged with tons of junk mail -- all travel brochures. I'm fairly sure who is doing this and it's becoming a real torment. In desperation, I wrote to 2 of the convention & tourism bureaus in other states. However I led them to believe I was an attorney and that I needed the I.P. address of the computer where the original email (asking the bureau to send us a travel brochure) was sent. I told them specifically I didn't suspect them of any wrongdoing at all, and that I merely wanted the I.P. address if they could provide it. My worry is, could passing myself off as an attorney get me into big trouble? I wasn't trying to defraud or get money out of anyone -- just trying to track down our tormentor. My wife and I are in our 60's and in poor health.

Can I Pro Se file a motion to disregard a deposition?
In a deposition where I was a pro se party, the opposing attorney wouldn't allow me to answer the question fully saying we would address that later. At the end he said it was over, he paid for the deposition and any other points were irrelevant. This produced a biased deposition. Can I make a motion to have this deposition suppressed and not used as evidence?
