Phony Lawyer Sentenced For Scam

(Columbia,  SC)  -- A man who pretended to be a lawyer is now an inmate. A judge in Columbia yesterday sentenced 48-year-old Phillip Asher to 33 months in federal prison. 

Asher pretended to be a lawyer over a year ago when he threatened to sue a Chinese restaurant if they didn't pay him 250-thousand dollars. 

He pleaded guilty in exchange for getting similar cases dropped in other states.
