Racine Olson, PLLP was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the NH Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on December 19, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Racine Olson, PLLP is a professional limited liability partnership operating as a law firm, handling complex legal matters that often span litigation, corporate counseling, estate planning, and specialized transactional work. Because law firms routinely act as repositories for high-value, confidential information, they occupy a position of immense trust. Clients, opposing parties, corporate entities, and employees routinely entrust Racine Olson, PLLP with sensitive personal records, proprietary business strategies, financial documents, and private communications. This concentration of high-value data makes the firm and its digital infrastructure an attractive target for malicious actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities for financial or operational gain. In 2025, Racine Olson, PLLP reported a significant data security incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General's office. While the precise mechanics of the breach continue to be scrutinized, security incidents affecting legal service providers typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as unauthorized intrusions into document management systems, ransomware deployments, or compromises of third-party vendor platforms utilized for cloud storage and client communication. In the legal sector, unauthorized access events often allow bad actors to lurk undetected within enterprise networks for days or weeks, extracting vast volumes of confidential files before network defenses are mobilized to halt the breach. The exposure of data from a legal entity creates severe, multi-faceted risks for the individuals whose information is compromised. Depending on the nature of the legal matters handled by the firm, the exposed data frequently includes full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial account details, tax documents, and deeply confidential personal correspondence. When Social Security numbers and financial data are leaked, victims face an immediate and persistent threat of identity theft, fraudulent credit card accounts being opened in their name, and unauthorized tax filings. Furthermore, the exposure of private legal documents can compromise ongoing litigation, business transactions, or sensitive personal disputes, resulting in compounding privacy violations and emotional distress. As a custodian of sensitive personal and financial information, Racine Olson, PLLP was bound by stringent legal and ethical obligations to maintain robust cybersecurity frameworks. Under state data protection laws and common law negligence principles, organizations holding PII must implement reasonable security measures—such as multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, robust encryption standards, and regular vulnerability assessments—to safeguard data against foreseeable threats. The occurrence of a widespread data breach strongly suggests a failure in these administrative and technical safeguards, raising serious questions regarding whether the firm fulfilled its legal duties to protect the private information entrusted to its care. Receiving a formal data breach notification letter from Racine Olson, PLLP is a clear admission that your sensitive personal information was compromised due to inadequate security practices. Under modern data breach jurisprudence, victims do not need to wait until they have suffered actual financial loss to seek legal recourse; the mere increased risk of future identity theft and the forced expenditure of time and money on protective measures provide the necessary legal standing to participate in a class action lawsuit. Our firm is actively investigating potential claims against Racine Olson, PLLP on behalf of affected individuals. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is never any out-of-pocket cost or fee unless we successfully recover compensation for you.
Based on the data types reported in this filing:

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
You may have been affected by the Racine Olson, PLLP data breach if:
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.
Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.
Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.
Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the New Hampshire data breach notification law, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
No. Under New Hampshire data breach notification law and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Racine Olson, PLLP does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Racine Olson, PLLP during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
