Already exposed?

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates the firm’s data was exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The corpus includes 196,701 files and 19,231 directories, with content dated as recently as active 2026 client matters. The leak site shows 579 GB used and 143 GB at root level.

The exposed material comprises 656 client-matter folders organized across eight yearly parent folders running from June 2019 through the current 2026 caseload. Documents include medical records, HIPAA authorizations, police reports, settlement releases, IOLTA distribution sheets, retainer agreements, and correspondence with treating providers. Two staff Outlook archives, each roughly 2.1 GB, were also part of the exfiltrated data.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you were a client of the firm at any point since 2019, highly personal details about your injuries, medical treatment, financial settlements, and legal strategy may now sit on a ransomware leak site. Even if you never hired the firm, the breach shows how everyday professional relationships can expose your private life. Medical records, police reports, and settlement documents contain your full name, date of birth, address, phone number, Social Security number, insurance details, and signatures.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
