Attorneys warned about phishing scam
The State Bar of Michigan is warning members about a phishing scam involving fraudulent emails that appear to come from Board of Commissioners Secretary David C. Anderson.
The scam email, which has been reported by multiple members, is created to seem like an official communication from the State Bar of Michigan.
It uses a deceptive email address — david.anderson2(at)michbar.org.virrumail.com — that is not affiliated with SBM.
Anyone who receives the email should not respond to the message, click on any links, or provide personal information.
The message claims to be a request to confirm preferences for secure communication from the State Bar of Michigan. It may appear legitimate at first glance, but it is not from Anderson or any State Bar of Michigan staff.

Webcast focuses on mental health
and estate planning
American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education will present the webcast “Trust and Estate Planning for Addiction and Other Mental Health Challenges” on Tuesday, July 8, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The prevalence and complexity of addiction and mental health conditions present unique and often difficult challenges for estate planners. Effective planning in these cases requires a thoughtful, individualized approach that is holistic and adaptable. While early collaboration with treatment and healthcare professionals is ideal, it’s not always feasible.
Planners must be equipped to meet clients and beneficiaries wherever they are in the cycle of illness, recovery, or relapse.
Attendees will gain practical insight into how to support clients and beneficiaries navigating recovery or struggling with ongoing substance use or mental illness, organizers say.
Cost for the webcast is $249. To register, visit www.ali-cle.org.
