Sherr CPA LLC was responsible for safeguarding the personal data of its customers and employees. According to a NH state filing, Sherr CPA LLC experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing financial account information and payment data. This breach was recently disclosed and the window for legal action is open now.
Data Exposed
The data held by Sherr CPA LLC — like that of most organizations that collect customer information — represents a comprehensive profile of affected individuals that, once assembled by bad actors, enables a range of fraudulent activities. The value of this data persists long after the breach is publicly disclosed, and vigilance is warranted for years following an exposure.
Sherr CPA LLC appears to be a certified public accounting and financial services firm specializing in tax preparation, bookkeeping, and advisory services for individuals and businesses. In the regular course of business, the firm typically collects and stores sensitive personal and financial data, including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, banking details, and prior tax returns. In 2026, Sherr CPA LLC officially reported a data breach incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information may have been involved in this security incident. This page provides an overview of the event and the types of data potentially compromised.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.
What the New Hampshire data breach notification law and federal statutes entitle you to recover:
The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.
Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.
Fees charged to close and reopen accounts, issue replacement cards, or dispute fraudulent transactions are recoverable in data breach litigation. So are the costs of overdrafts, late payments, and credit damage caused by unauthorized activity.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
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.
State statutes of limitations for data breach claims typically run 2–4 years from the date of the breach or its discovery. Because this breach was recently disclosed, the window is open — but acting early preserves your options and strengthens the case.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Sherr CPA LLC 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 Sherr CPA LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
