Links to Third Party Sites
The Firm website has been designed to be a resource for information on matters that might be of interest to current or potential clients.

The Firm takes no responsibility for the content or practices of third party sites.
Email and cyber security
Fraudsters can set up website domain names which are confusingly similar to real domains, in order to try to fool clients into thinking they are corresponding with a genuine email address.
The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted and any transmission is at your own risk. We therefore recommend the following precautions when corresponding with Mothershed Law, PLLC, and in particular when being asked for confidential or personal information, or when dealing with any payment requests:
Always verify the sending address and make sure it says @mothershedlaw.com in the address and the headers of the email
Ensure that any matter number or reference quoted corresponds with what is expected or has been known/verified in the past.
Check the full invoice calculation to ensure accuracy of charges, as figures in these fake invoices are often miscalculated.
Confirm that logos / branding is consistent with previous correspondence.
Check to ensure that the bank details are correct. Any changes to our bank details would always be officially communicated to you rather than simply changed on an invoice.
Be alert to any change in style or tone of an email. If it seems out of character or inconsistent with the style or language of prior emails, this may be an indication that the sender is someone other than the person you are accustomed to dealing with.
If unsure, always call Mothershed Law (at a known/confirmed number) for verification/assistance or attend at our office directly. Please do not use invalid phone numbers provided on the invoice, as those often ring to fraudulent phone systems where they’ll falsely validate bad account information.
Any change in financial instructions either from the client to the lawyer, or the lawyer to the client, should whenever possible be confirmed directly by telephone before proceeding on those revised instructions.
If you suspect that you have received fraudulent correspondence related to our office, please notify us by telephone or email.
