Warning: Websites for 'Dorfman, George & Partners LLP'

28 February 2023

Websites for 'Dorfman, George & Partners LLP' are operating and claiming to be for a firm of solicitors.

What is the scam?

The website 'www.dorfmangeorgellp.com' is operating and falsely claiming to be for a firm of solicitors called 'Dorfman, George & Partners LLP'. The firm claims to have an office in London.

The above website seen by the SRA claims to have 'Edward Dorfman', 'Alam George', 'Joseph Pelletier', 'Amoretti A.P Roberto' as 'partners' at the firm. The website falsely claims Law Society accreditation for the firm and SRA regulated status for some of the supposed partners.

The website provides a postal address of '11 Back Wynd, Aberdeen, AB10 1JN' but also claims in several places to be based in London. The website also provides the email address 'info@dorfmangeorgellp.com' and the telephone number '+44-744-144-6087'.

The SRA does not authorise a firm of solicitors called 'Dorfman, George & Partners LLP' nor does it authorise and regulate 'Edward Dorfman', 'Alam George', 'Joseph Pelletier', or 'Amoretti A.P Roberto'.

The website 'www.dorfmangeorgesllp.com' is also operating and claiming to be for the same firm as referred to above. This website provides the above contact details but provides an alternative email address of 'info@dorfmangeorgesllp.com'.

Any business or transaction through the above websites, individuals, email addresses and telephone number is not undertaken by a firm of solicitors or individual authorised and regulated by the SRA.

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
