A New Haven man has been arrested for allegedly representing clients in court for about 13 years, even though he’s never been an attorney.

Inspectors with the Statewide Prosecution Bureau in the Office of the Chief State Attorney arrested 56-year-old Jerome Dunbar on July 3 and charged him with seven counts of unauthorized practice of law. The offense is a Class D felony and Dunbar could face upward of more than five years in prison and $35,000 in fines.
