What happened
On September 3, 2026, Fraser Trebilcock Davis Dunlap & Cavanaugh, P.C. ("Fraser Trebilcock"), a Lansing, Michigan-based full-service law firm, filed a data breach notification with the Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General and began mailing written notice letters to affected individuals. According to the letter, the firm learned of an event that affected certain information connected to litigation matters it handled. The firm states that, because of requirements imposed by Massachusetts law, it is unable to provide further detail publicly about the nature of the event.
The notice confirms that the information involved included Social Security numbers. No other categories of data were identified in the public filing. The Massachusetts filing lists three Massachusetts residents as affected, and the firm has not publicly disclosed a nationwide total. Fraser Trebilcock is offering affected individuals 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through Epiq Privacy Solutions ID, and has set up a dedicated assistance line at 866-675-2006 (Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET). The date the incident occurred, the date it was discovered, and the length of any delay between discovery and notification were not stated in the public notice.
Law firms routinely hold some of the most sensitive information their clients and opposing parties possess, including Social Security numbers, financial records, medical records, and privileged case files gathered during litigation. A Social Security number cannot be changed on request, so exposure creates a risk of identity theft, fraudulent tax filings, and new-account fraud that can persist for years. Whether Fraser Trebilcock's pre-incident data security practices met applicable legal and professional standards, whether affected individuals were notified without unreasonable delay, and whether the firm retained more personal information than it needed are among the issues being evaluated.
