Ciuni & Panichi, a Cleveland-based accounting and advisory firm, is the defendant in a class action lawsuit stemming from a data breach that allegedly exposed the personal information of clients and other individuals. If you received a notification letter from Ciuni & Panichi informing you that your data may have been compromised, you could be entitled to compensation through this settlement. Data breaches can expose sensitive personal information — such as names, Social Security numbers, financial details, and more — putting victims at risk of identity theft and fraud. This settlement allows affected individuals to recover money for time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket losses, and in some cases, more significant documented damages. The settlement offers payouts of up to $5,000 depending on the type and extent of harm you experienced. The deadline to file a claim is August 18, 2026, so it's important to act before time runs out.

  • You experienced out-of-pocket expenses, lost time, or identity theft/fraud related to the breach.

How Much Did It Pay?

Eligible claimants may receive up to $5,000 through this settlement, depending on the nature of their claim. At minimum, class members who submit a valid claim may be entitled to compensation for ordinary out-of-pocket expenses and lost time (typically valued at a set hourly rate, up to a few hours) spent dealing with the breach — even without major documented losses. For those who experienced more serious harm — such as identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, or significant time and money spent resolving fraud — higher reimbursement amounts may be available with supporting documentation. Keeping records of any expenses, bank statements, or correspondence related to the breach will strengthen your claim.
