$800K Marshall & Melhorn data breach class action settlement

Marshall & Melhorn LLC agreed to an $800,000 class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims surrounding a data breach that occurred August-September 2021.

The Marshall & Melhorn settlement benefits individuals whose personal information may have been compromised in the company’s data breach and who received a mailed data breach notification informing them of the incident.

The Marshall & Melhorn data breach reportedly compromised sensitive information, such as names, Social Security numbers and financial data. Plaintiffs in the data breach class action lawsuit claim Marshall & Melhorn failed to protect consumer data and caused its customers to suffer damages, such as identity theft and fraud.

Marshall & Melhorn is a full-service law firm that serves clients in business, education estate planning, intellectual property law and other areas.

Marshall & Melhorn hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $800,000 to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Marshall & Melhorn settlement, class members can receive a pro rata cash payment. These payments are estimated to be $70 but may be adjusted based on the number of claims filed and other factors.

In addition to a pro rata payment, class members can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the Marshall & Melhorn data breach. These expenses include unreimbursed losses relating to fraud or identity theft, professional fees, costs associated with freezing or unfreezing credit, credit monitoring costs and more.

The deadline for exclusion and objection was Nov. 21, 2024.
