Civil Action No. 2:25-cv-02973
IF MCCORMICK & PRIORE P.C. (“DEFENDANT”) NOTIFIED YOU OF A SECURITY INCIDENT,
YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.
A proposed $335,000 Settlement arising out of a Data Incident has been reached with McCormick & Priore P.C. (“Defendant”). In or around December 2024, an unauthorized third party potentially gained access to Settlement Class Members’ Personal Information (the “Data Incident”).
Class Members include all individuals residing in the United States whose Personal Information was potentially compromised in the Data Incident discovered by Defendant in December 2024, including all persons who were sent notice of the Data Incident. The Settlement Class specifically excludes: (i) McCormick & Priore P.C. (“Defendant”), the Related Entities, and their officers and directors; (ii) all Settlement Class Members who timely and validly request exclusion from the Settlement Class; (iii) any judges assigned to this case and their staff and family; and (iv) any other Person found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty under criminal law of initiating, causing, aiding or abetting the criminal activity occurrence of the Security Incident or who pleads nolo contendere to any such charge. The Notice explains the nature of the lawsuit and claims being settled, your legal rights, and the benefits to the Settlement Class.
The Settlement establishes a $335,000 Settlement Fund to be used to pay (i) all costs of Settlement Administration including Taxes and Tax-Related Expenses; (ii) approved Out-of-Pocket Loss Claims; (iii) approved Pro Rata Cash Payments; (iv) approved claims for Credit Monitoring Services; (v) Service Awards; and (vi) Attorneys’ Fee Award and Costs. Claimants may select one or more of the following forms of Settlement relief:
1) Out-of-Pocket Expense Reimbursement: Compensation from the Settlement Fund, up to a total of $5,000.00 per Settlement Class Member, upon submission of a Valid Claim and supporting documentation, for out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of the Data Incident.
2) Pro Rata Cash Payment: All Settlement Class Members may also make a claim for a Pro Rata cash payment, estimated at $50, without the need to document losses incurred as a result of the Data Incident. The amount of the payment will be calculated by first deducting the costs for valid claims for Out-of-Pocket Losses, valid claims for Credit Monitoring, Notice and Administrative Expenses (including Taxes and Tax-Related Expenses), attorneys’ fees and costs, and the service award. The remaining amount will determine the actual dollar amount of the Pro Rata Cash Payment available for each Settlement Class Member.
3) Credit Monitoring: All Settlement Class Members may elect to receive two years of Credit Monitoring.
You must complete and file a Claim Form online or by mail postmarked by July 16, 2026, including required Reasonable Documentation if you choose Out-of-Pocket Expense Reimbursement.

The Court will hold the Final Fairness Hearing on August 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 15a at the United States Courthouse, 601 Market St, Philadelphia, PA 19106. The hearing may be moved to a different date, time, or location without additional notice, so it is recommended that you periodically check this website for updated information.
At the hearing, the Court will consider whether the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate, and is in the best interests of Settlement Class Members, and if it should be approved. If there are valid objections, the Court will consider them and will listen to people who have asked to speak at the hearing if the request was made properly. The Court will also consider the award of Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses to Class Counsel and the request for a service award to the Class Representative.
