Although "completed" may be changed as appropriate.

As to the "Doctor" usage, I guess it is not incorrect to apply to someone who is not an M.D.; it may also be applied to a Ph.D.

OK, I know, I was also reluctant to admit that, so I used to write "Ms. / Mr." and drop the "Doctor" part, but after doing some painstaking research a couple of months ago, I got to the conclusion that it can be used that way.

I know it is not so evident; but please do some research. At that time I was able to gather some references, not only from the web. One of them was the Newsweek magazine; the text read something like:
"XX insisted on being called "Doctor XX" in company where almost everyone had an Ph.D."
Another was a Novel by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, "La Fiesta del Chivo":
"In the US she was used to be called Doctor [Last Name.] But now she's back in Dominican Republic and the few ones who know her just call her [First Name]" And certainly, the female character Mario is talking about is not an M.D.

At this very moment I don't have the exact references, but may be I can give them to you later...

In your specific context, however, I think you should drop the \"Doctor\" by \"Ms.\" or \"Attorney\" / \"Counsel.\"

Accordingly, I\'ll give my \"agree\" to Marian
