Olszewski, Esq. http://ireneolszewski.com/ctlawblog/?p=272 It’s par for the course in this ever-changing world of ours that people will find ways to scam other people. I’m providing a link below to an article in the Connecticut Law Tribune detailing two forged signatures on mortgages that landed the attorney in hot water for not checking the IDs of his clients prior to allowing them to sign on the dotted line at closing time.

Lesson to all: Lawyers should check the IDs of all clients prior to signature time. Clients should not be offended when an attorney asks for an ID. Checking IDs benefits everyone.
