[E-trademarks] Questionable looking law firm listed as counsel of record

[Michael D. Steger]

I recently came across an application purportedly owned by multiple
individuals who appear to be residing abroad (listed address is in
Canada).  The application was purportedly filed by a California attorney
(whose name is not listed with the California bar).  Three weeks after
filing another attorney with the same "firm" substituted in, using a
substitution of attorney form and stating "These are my Clients who hired
me to be their attorney for all the applications they have filled , The
Attorney before has no right to deal with these clients because I'm now
their representative"

The website using the same domain as both attorneys' email addresses looks
very scammy -- no attorneys listed, poor grammar and misspellings.

The new "attorney" is supposedly a member of the New York bar.  There is a
New York attorney  with that name, but the attorney  is an associate at a
blue chip Wall Street firm.

Is there anything that a concerned trademark attorney  can do about a
situation like this?
