Multiple law firms have launched investigations into DocketWise, a cloud-based immigration case management platform, after a data breach exposed the sensitive records of approximately 116,000 individuals including Social Security numbers, passport details, and medical records.
Status: Under Investigation | No Lawsuit Filed Yet
What Happened?
DocketWise is a software platform used by thousands of immigration law firms across the United States to manage case files, store client documents, and track immigration proceedings. On or around September 1, 2025, unauthorized individuals gained access to a third-party partner’s repository credentials, which gave them access to DocketWise customer data.
The breach was discovered in October 2025, but notification letters to affected individuals were not sent until April 3, 2026 — a delay of approximately six months that may violate state and federal breach notification requirements.
What Data Was Exposed?
The compromised information is particularly sensitive given the immigration context:
- Full names, dates of birth, and addresses
- Social Security numbers
- Driver’s license and passport numbers
- Financial account details and payment card information
- Medical records
- Login credentials
Who Is Investigating?
Several law firms have announced investigations into the breach, including Edelson Lechtzin LLP, Cole & Van Note, Migliaccio & Rathod LLP, and Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe. These firms are evaluating whether a class action lawsuit should be filed on behalf of affected individuals.
What Should You Do?
If you received a breach notification from DocketWise:
- Enroll in free credit monitoring — DocketWise is offering 24 months of identity protection through IDX (enrollment deadline: July 3, 2026)
- Place a credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion
- Monitor your accounts for any unauthorized activity
- Change passwords for any accounts that may have used the same credentials
