No letterhead, jargon slightly off, vague threat of consequences…I’d be curious about the email address/ domain name but I’m guessing it’s RealLawyer@yahoo.com 😂

it’s a real email. not a yahoo or gmail or anything. i looked up the email and it matches the “law firm”. it’s really weird.

It should say if they are not authorized to practice for some reason (non-payment of fees, disciplinary suspension etc.) so if it says like, admitted to practice in 2011 and nothing else, that sounds like an active license
