I am going to disagree a bit with this post. I do agree that the OP should have been more proactive, but the attorney would have gotten a message that the email was undeliverable and should have followed through by telephone or snail mail.

The attorney doesn't get a "pass" because they sent an email that wasn't delivered. They knew that the email wasn't delivered.
The attorney would have not gotten a message if it WAS a legitimate email address, even if it was not OP's Dad.

I have an email address that regularly gets email intended for others all over the world, including bank statements, party invitations, cell phone bills, and private conversation. All it takes is for a correspondent to not use a letter or number or two, and I've got mail.
