A Newburyport, Mass. attorney formerly with the big personal injury firm of Kreindler and Kreindler has been suspended from practice for two years “after Suffolk County judges ruled she falsely claimed she was also a medical doctor.” The firm reportedly was unaware of the imposture (no one checked, then? ) and cited her nonexistent credential in its promotional materials.

She claimed to have graduated in the top 1% of her class from Columbia Univ. medical school. Not surprising that her attendance , academic performance, and degree from there could not be verified. That appears routine for people in high profile legal positions who say they graduated from Columbia.
maybe it was Colombia University Medical School that she graduated from. Did anyone check?

I would bet money that is not true….
Probably more like: “took a few ballet classes when she was 15 at the Empire State Ballet Theater”
