Which of the following acts are violations or are potential violations of ethics by Kara or by the firm she works for?

Kara became a paralegal after working as a legal secretary for many years in a general practice law office. After she received her paralegal degree, the law firm placed her name on letterhead, gave her business cards, and put her name on her office door. In each instance, she is clearly identified as a paralegal. Kara felt she could prepare wills and simple deeds in her sleep, because she had typed so many of them in her secretarial days. Although her boss was not involved, she was sure her boss appreciated her taking care of these things for some of the regular clients, who often praised her ability and were glad her hourly rates were so much less than a partner's hourly rates. Because she is so well known in her local legal assistant organization, Kara often was asked to speak at seminars and at some of the legal assistant classes. She always took this opportunity to brag about her firm, its areas of practice, and some of its larger clients. Once she even defended a client's good name, using information she learned from letters and memos between the client and her attorney. From time to time, she receives job offers from other firms. She thinks if her office really appreciates her, they could split some of the fees with her from the cases on which she worked. She plans on mentioning this idea to the office manager.
