I haven't watched the series - does she actually say it in a way where she's implying she is a lawyer?

(nayrt, btw)

[philstar22]

It actually doesn't matter under the ethics rules for lawyers. If the client can reasonably interpret her statement as saying or implying she's a lawyer, that's enough to get the actual lawyers in trouble.

[(Anonymous)]

She introduces herself like "I'm with the law firm of Nelson and Murdoch" without actually acknowledging that technically this is true, but she's a secretary. She also counsels Frank Castle during his trial that he needs to take the stand-- something which most defense attorneys STRONGLY try to avoid, BTW, because it exposes their client to cross-examination usually hurts more than it helps. Castle takes the stand and ends up torching his own defense by going full psycho in the court room.

If that had happened in real life, you'd probably have a mistrial at best, because it means the defendant isn't getting a proper defense from his legal counsel. Nelson and Murdoch would face disbarrment, for allowing their secretary to serve as legal counsel. And there are usually legal repercussions for misrepresenting yourself as an attorney when you're not one, so Page would've been in trouble as well.
