Not sure it meets this standard.

Really? "I'm an attorney" is definitely holding oneself out as entitled to practice law, doncha think? And "I'm a California attorney" removes all wiggle room for "*Admitted in Illinois"? All of the best arguments for NOT calling in air strikes are ones of proportionality, not essence.

Does her assertion of being a California attorney materially mislead whatever body was evaluating her letter and argument?

ˇAbsolutamente no! No one in this business pays any mind to the "I will sue you if you grant this permit" talk. It's the subject of a statutory immunity, so it's water off a duck's back.
