Dumbass. You're supposed to ask for the license before you ask if they're giving legal advice. Get the order right and it works every time.

when all else fails, asking to see licenses is definitely the way to go

You can go to archive.org or archive.is (or others) and submit the link to pull up the version they've cached. If they haven't cached it, I believe you can submit a link so that they scrape it.

I really wish OP would have said what the egregious violation was.

Yeah that was an appalling hit and run on their part

The city attorney.... has a license to practice law?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Right? They’re one of the attorneys of the state.

"are you giving legal advice" "no, im just telling you what forms i'm able to accept" "SHOW ME YOU LICENSE... no, wait, you were supposed to say yes"
