"Ellie posts a "Hello Megan" because apparently she hasn't been to ML and doesn't know about ISPs and stuff like that. "Korrin" posted from our good friend Megan's computer."
Dr. Meganheimer, JD came to the board and demanded she remove the article due to copyright infringement *using her own full name* or she would get mad and come after us.
Board full of lawyers and other people started laughing their collective asses off at the "attorney" who signs with lots of unnecessary initials but to play nice she modified the entry and gave a link to a Google View draft.
Poor Dr. Meganheimer doesn't get the clickies she wants or needs for her website. Adult temper tantrum ensues.
She deactivates her account...which was her NAME.
She writes to Patrick threatening to sue for libel, harassment and whatever else she can throw against the wall that will stick a la cooking spaghetti theory of the practice of law.
More laughter and hilarity ensues. People start looking for her credentials and how scared we should be (not) and see that she's not even a lawyer. She did attend the worst law school in the nation because it's the only one she ever wanted to attend (yeah right) but never passed the bar. Her "doctorate" is questionable, in naturopathic medicine, and not from an accredited school of naturopathy. She's passing herself off as a licensed professional in two fields in which it is criminal to pass yourself off as a professional. Oh, gee, darn, the gal who is threatening to sue a board of attorneys isn't in fact an attorney but could have criminal penalties applied to herself.
Fan of Dr. Meganheimer, Korrin-some-number, "finds" our site, comes in to tell us how amazing the "doctor" is and she's followed her blog for years (yeah, it's her fourth or so blog and it hasn't been up for "years" to follow. Ergo, Korrin is Megan.
Ellie posts a "Hello Megan" because apparently she hasn't been to ML and doesn't know about ISPs and stuff like that. "Korrin" posted from our good friend Megan's computer.
More hilarity and the board has collectively decided we/they/it are/is annoyed that we deleted the initial thread with the comments and so a new thread was started to rebut her arguments and get the information out that the good "doctor" and "lawyer" is, in fact, neither a doctor nor a lawyer. Her "impeccable" credentials that she uses to sound more important and push her anti-vax, biblical medicine woo-theories are, in fact, not so impeccable.
She is now in the process of changing all the letters in her About Me-s that say she is a doctor and lawyer and Indian chief.

Discussion on Thought Catalog I Look Down On Young Women With Husbands And Kids And I’m Not Sorry
Megan Heimer • 3 months ago
This is the most ignorant article I have ever read. I am a lawyer AND a doctor and I have CHOSEN to stay at home. I raise my own babies and adopted two more from Africa (2 sets of twins under 3). Hardest job I have ever done but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'd like to know what your definition of "equal" is because equality is not synonymous with "sameness." You clearly have something you feel you need to prove to the world. Too bad someday your world will end and your pursuit will prove futile. I hope you figure it out before it's too late. In the meantime, you should stop making judgments about a situation you have never been in.
anyone who wants to post it, expect it to not make it on her page
Also the whole part where she said she had two of the highest degrees in the world. Did she mean a BS in political science and a JD from Cooley? Because I would think most people would read that and assume she was an MD and that she had gone to (a very good) law school.
She was refuted, several times with several different articles. Revisionist history strikes again!
Honey, listen, you're just not that important. No one really cares about you. What they care about is that you misrepresented yourself. If you had just posted as Megan the Housewife (which is what you are, there's no shame in that), no one would have cared. Instead you inflated your importance, broke a couple of laws, and then started the martyrdom movement. Can you, for even just a little bit, stop with the lies? Or are you mentally incapable of doing so?
And doesn't law school include a course in logical fallacies? Appeal to Authority, anyone?

You'd think she also would have taken an introductory statistics course to get her bachelor's degree in political science. If so, she should be familiar with such fundamental concepts as "correlation is not causation", "peer review", "omitted variable bias", and "don't fabricate data".

Again if you are going to finish in two years, you need to cut a few corners...
Makes you wonder which courses the two year track actually *does* include...

Her main claim is that you don't need no stinkin' learning to make correct conclusions. She is, in fact, wrong about this, but being factual isn't exactly her strong suit.

It might be possible, but it would really be something. She could have done two and a half years and graduated in the winter instead of the spring. She would have had to take summer classes both summers and usually, there are only a few.offered. So I took one summer class before third year. It met once a week for three hours and sucked. Secured Transactions. Awful. But yeah you could do that.
First year your classes are set for you. Everyone takes the same classes and you can't add or subtract classes. Second year, you have more freedoms, so you could pile on a bunch of classes and take them all at once, but I don't know how you'd get all the reading done. Then the summer classes, then load up fall semester of 2014....
I think the thing is that this would be a really bad idea at pretty much Amy law school other than Cooley and the other bottom feeders because you're law school grades are going to be on a bell curve so you need to be competitive in each class and how could you be if you're trying to graduate early and taking 21 credit hours?
Does anyone have Megan Heimer's FB/blog page. Or wherever it is that all this drama is taking place. I have some... friends that I think would be interested in seeing it.

"Since there are people who feel that one cannot refer to themselves as a lawyer or attorney if they are not licensed to practice law...you can call me Megan."
You mean since there are laws in place to prevent exactly what you were doing.
Since her law school program was only 2 years instead of 3, they must have skipped that part.
Northwestern also only accepts a quarter of its applicants and costs LESS than Cooley. Which is also pretty indicative of one's motivations for selecting Cooley's, um, accelerated program.
eta: I misread the Northwestern costs. NW is 15K more.

I would also like to state that the ONLY reason no posters in this thread have reported Megan Heimer's falsehoods to the appropriate governing bodies is because they would have to state their names on the complaint which would then be forwarded for her to respond. This person's past online activities and recent participation on this board demonstrate a certain unhinged instability, and people are concerned about her access to their identities. We are fully confident in our position and the abundant online evidence of her deliberately misrepresented credentials.
In short, the only thing protecting her bizarre activities from being reported is... her bizarre activities.

No it's not. Northwestern's tuition is $54,764/year. Cooley's is $43,500. And Chicago is more expensive than anywhere in Michigan.
Of course, no one is really debating between Northwestern and Cooley. Anyone who could get into Northwestern could also get a full ride at Loyola or Kent in Chicago (second tier schools) or a first tier in another city. I was just pointing out that there is at least one good/real law school that has a 2-year program.

So she didn't take the bar. She probably didn't take the MPRE either, the test that almost all states require to be a practicing attorney. It tests future lawyers on their ability to understand professional legal ethics, with one of the key aspects of legal ethics being: NOT HOLDING YOURSELF OUT AS AN ATTORNEY IF YOU ARE NOT AN ATTORNEY.

y'all really should see what's going on in her FB page.
this is my favorite part:
**** I have never lied about my credentials. I have referred to myself as a lawyer and a traditional doctor of naturopathy N.D. in the past because I have a juris doctor and a doctorate in naturopathy.
What I am not allowed to do it give legal advice, practice law, hold myself out to be a physician, or give medical advice - none of which I have done or will ever do.
For the sake of transparency I have changed the way I classify myself. That does not negate my degrees, it simply allows for transparency which makes it a lot harder for people like you to attack ME or accuse me of misrepresentation.
If you want to see if my posts constitute "lying" I suggest you do the research on the citations listed in my blog.
Respectfully.

**** Acutally, Megan, you are wrong. You can't call yourself a lawyer if you haven't passed the bar and aren't licensed in any state. You can actually get in pretty big trouble for that. To quote: "I have chosen to use my degree outside the realms of the "legal profession" and I have no intention of taking the bar exam in any state...ever." - this means that you cannot call yourself a lawyer.

**** I spoke with the ABA yesterday. There is NO law that says I can't but they suggested I refer to my degree instead so as to make it very clear I do not practice law. I have no problem doing that and have since made those changes and I posted a notice HERE and on my blog.

I'm fascinated by the fact that she acknowledges that she shouldn't be giving medical advice, and yet SHE'S TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO VACCINATE... which is, yanno, MEDICAL ADVICE.
Should she be talking to the ABA? Or her STATE'S BAR? The ABA has nothing to do with licensing attorneys. That is a state role. ABA is just a professional organization.
