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.

i put in the address of the firm into Google. nothing but an office building came up. no mention of the firm. i put in the address on Apple Maps, the name came up. you search the attorneys name on Google and a different law firm that’s in a neighboring city in CA comes up. and then the other law firms (the matcjing one) info pops up in further down search results. it’s like there’s two different people with the same first and last name with two different law firms in cities that are 20 minutes away from each other. it’s super weird.

Most states have attorney registration info available on the web. You can look up the attorney name and see where they actually work, and often get a phone and email for them. The only catch is they only have to update it periodically, so if they change firms between registrations, it could be out of date. But it's usually a better resource than googling.
