A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION COULD FIND NO RECORD OF A MONTEREY COUNTY LAWYER AT THE CALIFORNIA BAR ASSOCIATION. ALL LAWYERS WORKING IN THE STATE MUST PASS THE CALIFORNIA BAR, TO PRACTICE LEGALY.

O'SHEA IS FACING POTENTIAL CRIMINAL CHARGES, IF SHE PRACTICED CALIFORNIA LAW WITHOUT A LICENSE. THE CASE WAS TURNED OVER TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, WHICH WILL INITIATE A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION ON MONDAY.
