Important Security Notice For Our Clients

We have been made aware that the domain obriensolicitors-au[.]com was recently registered using our business name. This domain has no affiliation with O’Brien Solicitors whatsoever, and we are pleased to confirm it has now been taken down.

This type of activity is an increasingly common scam targeting law firms across Australia. We were advised by authorities to notify our clients promptly, and we are doing so as a precautionary measure in case any fraudulent emails were sent before the domain was removed.

We want to reassure you, our firm has not been compromised.
