Understanding your Perkins Law data breach notification letter
If a Perkins Law letter arrived in your mailbox, here is what it means, why you received it, and the free steps you can take right now.
Why you received this letter
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 to do after the letter
Confirm the notice is genuine
A legitimate Perkins Law notice references the specific incident reported to the Oregon Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.
Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection
The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.
Protect your accounts and credit
Depending on what was exposed, consider a free credit freeze with all three bureaus, new passwords for reused credentials, and monitoring of financial statements. These steps are free and do not require you to wait for anyone's permission.
