Security – Using Acrobat to Encrypt Attachments

cbusey • August 18, 2016

In this day and technological age, it is very important to secure information that is sent by email. This can be done in a variety of ways, obviously with some methods being more exotic and/or costly (and, thus, oftentimes non-permissive) than others. However, the bottom line is that sensitive information (i.e. SSNs, DOBs, PHI, account numbers, and similar identifying information) being sent by email should be secured. The purpose of this blog is to show how it can be done for free, both, to the sender and the receiver, with only a small amount of reciprocal work between the two (which, in the end, will likely pay off to both to the Nth power).

Standard Naming Conventions

By cbusey • February 10, 2017
In this day and age, emails, documents, drafts, and proposals are generally transmitted, saved, and archived in a digital format. Typically, these tasks are accomplished by way of WORD or PDF. However, there are an array of other records that also exist in other formats, such as images, pictures, cell phone screenshots, maps, sketches, snippets, and so on, which may be amassed intermittently or spontaneously. It is important that everyone involved (be it attorneys or staff of a firm, or their clients) be able to efficiently save, transmit, and/or retrieve files in a short time.

Encrypted Document & Passwords – Severing the Head From the Body

By cbusey • August 18, 2016
For users of any current versions of Acrobat (Pro, Cloud, or similar versions), securing a PDF attachment with a password is relatively simple. You open the File menu, select properties, navigate to the “securities” tab, and change the document security settings by clicking add “password security”. From here, you can add a password to open the document, print the document, do assembly functions, or restrict editing. You can choose whichever options you want (just keep in mind that you want your user to be able to do what they need to do also).

Levying on a Social Security Number, Corporate ID Number, or FEIN Number

By cbusey • April 30, 2016
One of the questions that we frequently hear is, “can I do a levy, if I do not know the debtor’s account number?” This answer is, generally, yes, but this is also a two-fold issue. One of the many misconceptions about enforcements of judgments is that the creditor will have to levy upon a specific account number. This is completely incorrect. The true scenario is that the creditor can levy on the depository accounts in the name of the debtor, the debtor’s spouse (with an “affidavit of identity of spouse”), in a fictitious business name of the debtor, and/or “whether held in the name of the debtor alone or together with third parties”.

Effectively Backing Up Text Messages and Call Logs (For Free)

By cbusey • April 30, 2016
Whether one is involved in litigation, or is doing business and wants to maintain accurate records, or is exchanging text messages in a personal or professional capacity, or receiving calls from pertinent persons, sometimes people just want to back up their call logs and text messages, so that they can get rid of them from their phone (and free up some space) while, at the same time, saving those previous call logs and text messages for future reference or retrieval.

Emailing with People On-The-Go (Using EOM Messages)

By mprictor • April 21, 2016
With all the “smart” devices out there, and the fact that people are often “on the go”, people are more frequently checking their emails from their phone or tablet, either, of which likely has a relatively smaller screen than their computer. For communicating effectively when you know that someone is on-the-go or out-of-the-office (and, thus, will likely be checking their emails from their phone or other device), try sending them shorter, truncated messages by stating everything that is pertinent in the subject line of the email and then ending the message with EOM (End of Message).
