Investigation notes
Perkins Law is a legal services firm that handles sensitive client matters, requiring the collection and storage of significant amounts of personally identifiable information and confidential case documentation. In 2025, the firm officially reported a data security incident to the Oregon Attorney General, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from Perkins Law, it indicates that your personal or case-related information was likely stored within the affected environment at the time of the incident. This notification is intended to inform you of the nature of the breach and the steps the firm is taking to address the security compromise and protect your sensitive data moving forward.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether Perkins Law used reasonable security, how long it kept the data, and how quickly it told the people affected. Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in Oregon.
Perkins Law data breach questions
- Is the Perkins Law data breach letter legit or a scam?
- A notice from Perkins Law in the mail matches the breach Perkins Law reported to the Oregon Attorney General on January 22, 2025. Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact Perkins Law through a phone number or website you find yourself.
- Did Perkins Law offer free credit monitoring?
- Any free monitoring Perkins Law is offering will be described in the notice you received, along with an activation code and a sign-up deadline. Using the free service won't stop you from joining a lawsuit or settlement later.
- Is there a Perkins Law data breach class action lawsuit?
- Law firms often open an investigation after a breach notice like this one, and a class action lawsuit may follow. This page doesn't confirm that a lawsuit has been filed against Perkins Law. You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
- What should I do after getting the Perkins Law data breach notice?
- Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
- Do I need a Perkins Law data breach lawyer or attorney?
- An attorney can read your notice and tell you whether a claim makes sense. A case review here is free, and data breach cases are usually handled on contingency, so there is no upfront cost.
- Can I sue Perkins Law over the data breach?
- It depends on what was exposed, the law in Oregon and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
- How much could a Perkins Law data breach settlement or claim be worth?
- There is no set amount, and no Perkins Law settlement is confirmed here. In past data breach settlements, payments depended on what data was exposed and on documented losses — fraud, out-of-pocket costs and time spent dealing with the breach. Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
