"You can check by going on line in the state they claim to have practiced law and actually look up the status of their license."
Many states do not have records for inactive or resigned members online.
If they were a patent attorney before 1928, you may not find a license at all.

Ask the person what years they practiced, and in what state.
Check with the state bar of that state.
Ask the person for proof ... law school diploma, for example.

Ask them if they ever met someone named Hadley V. Baxendale.
If they say "no" they've never even been to Law School.
