Data Breach & Privacy Attorneys

Receiving a notice of data breach can be harrowing. Companies increasingly find that their customers' secure information is posted on the dark web. Was your information exposed? Javitch Law Office investigates.

When a Data Breach Becomes a Legal Claim

Companies that hold your personal information have a legal duty to protect it. When they fail — and your data ends up on the dark web, in the wrong hands, or used to commit fraud — we hold them accountable.

Types of Breaches We Handle
Consumer data breaches from retailers, banks, and healthcare providers
Ransomware attacks exposing customer records
Unauthorized third-party disclosures
Insider theft of personal information
Cloud storage misconfigurations exposing sensitive data
Failure to notify customers in a timely manner
Warning Signs Your Data Was Misused
Unfamiliar charges or new accounts opened in your name
Notice that your information was found on the dark web
Tax returns rejected due to duplicate filings
Medical bills or insurance claims you didn't make
Password reset emails you didn't request
Denial of credit despite good history

How Javitch Law Investigates Your Breach

1

Review Your Notice

We evaluate the breach notice and determine what data was exposed and how.

2

Investigate Security Failures

We assess whether the company met its legal duty to protect your data.

3

Pursue Recovery

Individual claim, class action, or regulatory complaint — whichever fits your case.

What You Can Recover

Data breach victims can pursue out-of-pocket losses, credit monitoring, statutory damages, and class settlement funds. We work on contingency; you pay nothing unless we recover for you.

  • Reimbursement for identity theft losses
  • Credit monitoring and identity protection costs
  • Statutory damages under the CCPA and similar laws
  • Emotional distress in appropriate cases
  • Injunctive relief requiring improved security
