AMS welcomes Attorney Whitney Leifheit to the firm!

Whitney Leifheit is a civil practice attorney with the knowledge and experience to handle a wide range of matters. Her areas of focus include civil litigation, estate planning and administration (small estates and probate), real estate, business formation and advising, private transactions and contracts, as well as immigration. Whitney offers both employment and family-based immigration services in addition to providing counsel for humanitarian needs. Whitney is fluent in both English and French.

Whitney was born and raised in Bloomington, Illinois, and continues to live here in her hometown with her husband, Ben (also a Bloomington native), and their three children. Whitney obtained her bachelor’s degree from Illinois Wesleyan University. Her legal career began just prior to graduation when she began working at a private general practice firm. As she continued her career, she earned a post-baccalaureate certificate in Legal Studies from Illinois State University, and finally a Juris Doctorate from Loyola University Chicago. Whitney has spent nearly a decade serving clients’ legal needs throughout Central Illinois. Whitney is a strong yet compassionate advocate who believes that every client deserves to be met with respect. She is an empathetic listener and approaches each case with the goal of getting to the root of issues effectively, accomplishing client objectives efficiently, and earning the trust and confidence of all parties.

Her interest in immigration began during undergrad volunteering as a translator for the Immigration Project in Normal, Illinois, where she continued to volunteer pro bono legal and translation services and eventually worked as an extern during law school. Whitney has worked with clients from a variety of countries and personal backgrounds, including asylees and victims of domestic violence.

When she’s not “on duty,” Whitney is an enthusiast for researching and preserving local history and currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Old House Society of McLean County. She loves a good salvaged or thrifted treasure. She has an interest in both classic literature and music, and tries to sneak in some reading or practice time with her viola on the rare occasion she’s not chasing after her little ones. She is also an active member in her church. Whitney is a member of both the McLean County and Illinois State Bar Associations.

You can now phone it in! Effective January 1, 2022, Illinois law now allows corporations to hold fully remote or partially remote shareholder meetings, so long as certain criteria are met. Unless prohibited by the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the corporation, and so long as the corporation implements reasonable measures to ensure each person participating remotely is a shareholder and remote shareholders have reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and vote on matters submitted to shareholders at the meeting, the shareholder meeting may be held by conference telephone, interactive technology, electronic transmission, internet usage, or other means of remote communication. Now that corporations have this option to conduct shareholder meetings remotely, they can provide more opportunity for shareholder participation, as well as reduce costs of hosting such shareholder meetings.

If you have any questions about this new law, or about corporations in general, please contact the Attorneys at Allison & Mosby-Scott.

Don't Get Scammed!
When it comes to consumer scams, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure…because likely there may be no cure at all if you fall victim to an internet or telephone scam. You could possibly be able to recover your money but chances are that the scammer is long gone and you’ll never recover a dime, so it is best to prevent it in the first place by knowing the signs.

One indication of a possible scam is the requested payment method a scammer asks for. If an individual asks for payment by gift card (and is not the retailer), reloadable credit card, sending cash through the mail, or a money transfer through an agent such as Western Union, this should greatly increase concerns about the legitimacy of the transaction as this is highly likely to be a scammer. Another red flag is if a business you have not communicated with or done business with before contacts and requests your bank account information, such as account number and routing number, you should not provide. If a company you do business with calls do not give out any information, as this too is most likely a scam. BEWARE when ANY company calls to request personnel information over the phone.

An additional sign to watch out for is the method used to scam. A recent scam involves a payment first being made to you, then having you make a lesser payment back to the scammer. An example of this is you list an item for sale on Craigslist for $100, an individual contacts you saying they want it and are mailing payment, then they reach back out stating they accidently sent a check for $200 for it, and for your time, you can retain an additional $20 but please return $80 (often by money order, wire transfer, or some other form of quick payment). Many consumers do not realize that when they deposit the $200 check into their account, the account will state the $200 funds are available, but this does not mean the check has cleared and is legitimate (this process could take a week or more). Since the consumer believes the funds have cleared because they are available, they’ll send a payment for $80 to the scammer, then days later the bank will reverse the $200 transaction and chargeback to the consumer’s account as allowed by federal law, therefore the consumer is out $80 and the scammer cannot be located.

One of the safest forms of payment to use for internet and telephone transactions is a credit card as there are consumer protections and rights associated with credit cards set forth in federal law. Credit card payments should only be made if you initiate the transaction or purchase. If credit card payment is an option it should be used, and it should raise concerns if an internet or telephone transaction did not offer it as an option.

Although it is best to prevent being scammed in the first place as your chances of recovery are pretty low, if you have been scammed, below are a few resources you can reach out to in hopes of seeking some type of recovery.

Don't Lose $500 Million! Manage Your Risk
If your business does not have proper risk management controls in place, it could happen, just ask Citigroup. Recently a court ruled that Citigroup could not retrieve more than $500 million it mistakenly wired to ten investment firms since the firms applied the funds towards existing loans, and the firms were not aware of the mistake. Citigroup intended on making interest-only payments on the loans, amounting to $7.8 million, but because of the error of a Citigroup employee, instead the principal of the loans were repaid. Between this $500 million mistake, and the $400 million fine Citigroup was hit with in October, their record keeping, internal controls, and data governance needs to improve and should serve as a lesson to others the value of proper risk management.
