The Houston Bar Association has filed a lawsuit seeking to shut down a fake law firm website that is using the pictures of real lawyers in an apparent scam targeting elderly people.
The fake law firm is called Walsh & Padilla, and it purports to offer estate planning services, the Houston Chronicle reports.
In reality, the website appears to be operated from South Africa, and it uses photos of lawyers taken from real law firm websites, the suit says.
