   It's a solicitation letter from that law firm. It is a boilerplate letter they send out. They must search court records or get a list of new filings. Someone is suing you. Go to the OC Court website and search case information. It's free and you don't need anything just the case number.

   • Worst case scenario is some collection agency trying to get a lien or something. But again, you should know through actual legal means since you would need to be served.

Call the orange county court and check that case number. "Superior Court" lol, no. This is not a summons or subpoena and it would not come regular mail. Nothing real about it at all

   Is a California law firm a real law firm?

   • For what it’s worth that law firm is a real law firm in California, and their website has similar graphics to the letterhead. From what I can see the website is an old domain.

There are some typos and syntax in this letter that seems like someone who isn’t a lawyer (or native English speaker either) wrote this. For what it’s worth that law firm is a real law firm in California, and their website has similar graphics to the letterhead.
