In Florida, what does the law say about claiming to the public that you can practice law?
Answered for: Florida
Any person not licensed or otherwise authorized to practice law in this state who practices law in this state or holds himself or herself out to the public as qualified to practice law in this state, or who willfully pretends to be, or willfully takes or uses any name, title, addition, or description implying that he or she is qualified, or recognized by law as qualified, to practice law in this state, commits a felony of the third degree
The Florida statute reaches two separate things: practising without a licence, and holding oneself out to the public as qualified to practice. It names a felony of the third degree.
This answer is true in Florida and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Florida.
