Data Breach Lawyers
Shamis Gentile’s Technology, Privacy, & Data Breach practice group litigates data breach class action lawsuits on behalf of consumers nationwide to get the compensation they deserve.
WHAT IS A DATA BREACH?
A data breach occurs when someone without authorization gains access to information for personal or financial gain. It’s no secret more and more of our lives are put online due to the nature of how business is transacted, and the number of those requesting access to our personal information grows every day. Those that are given the privilege of having our data must keep it secure and safe. Unfortunately, that is becoming increasingly not the case.
These data breaches can lead to identity theft that could impact the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. However, in many cases, those affected by breaches can be compensated for any risk or loss they face from the breach by filing a lawsuit.
Shamis Gentile is ready to support and litigate on behalf of those affected by data breaches. Our firm has recovered millions and millions of dollars for those pursuing a data breach class action lawsuit and will continue to fight to hold companies accountable for their failure in preventing security breaches.
