After the Sax, LLP incident: what to do and your options
- What should I do after getting the Sax, LLP data breach notice?

- Did Sax, LLP offer free credit monitoring?
- Check your letter from Sax, LLP. If free credit or identity monitoring is offered, the enrollment code and deadline are printed in the notice itself. Signing up doesn't waive any legal rights you may have.
- Can I sue Sax, LLP over the data breach?
- It depends on what was exposed, the law in Montana and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
- Do I need a Sax, LLP data breach lawyer or attorney?
