Kenneth Canfield of Doffermyre Shields Canfield & Knowles, Atlanta, enters the Richard B. Russell Federal Courthouse in Atlanta on July 22, 2019. Canfield along with Amy Keller and Norman Siegel are the consumer plaintiffs lead counsel in the consumer class action case against Equifax as a result of the company’s massive data breach.
Plaintiffs lawyers who obtained a $1.4 billion class action settlement with Equifax over its massive data breach have asked a federal judge to approve more than $77.5 million in attorney fees to them.
In a Tuesday motion, lawyers from 13 firms appointed to the multidistrict litigation said their fee request, originally disclosed in the settlement’s terms, was reasonable given that it represented less than 20.4% of the $380.5 million cash fund and only 5.6% of the settlement when including the other benefits to the class.
