Richard Lipscombe, 47, worked for a construction firm on a civil case for more than a year before his deception was exposed.
A Sheffield Crown Court judge said he showed "complete contempt" for the law.

Katherine Lloyd, representing the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), said Lipscombe purported to be a genuine solicitor in communication with the claimant's legal team and before a district judge at the Mayor's and City of London Court.
which claimed he was a "grade A fee earner" with at least eight years' litigation experience.
His deceit unravelled when the customer's legal team grew concerned about his conduct during a May 2016 court hearing and began investigating his background, the court heard.
The SRA issued the ban after an investigation found Lipscombe, while employed as a paralegal for law firm Neil Hudgell Ltd, had worked for a client without the company's knowledge.
As a result of Lipscombe's deception, Build Team Hobson was forced to settle its case at cost of £250,000.
