Nationwide Biometric Privacy Law Attorney

Vlahakis Law Group has extensive experience in protecting individuals from privacy violations. We understand the importance of safeguarding personal data and are committed to aggressively defending consumers against any breach of their right to privacy. We can assist our clients with taking legal action against companies that engage in illegal collection of biometric information, such as fingerprints, facial images and voices, without their consent or knowledge. Our firm is passionate about providing dedicated legal counsel to those affected by unlawful activities, including seeking damages from corporations who have collected biometric data illegally. 

Vlahakis Law Group specializes in representing current and former employees who have been forced by employers to enter work or clock their time at work use their unique biometric identifiers (fingerprints, hand scans, facial scans and voice). The Illinois Biometric Privacy Act (BIPA) prohibits employers from requiring employees to submit their biometric information, unless the employee has specifically agreed to do so in writing. BIPA states that an employee can be awarded up to $1,000 to $5,000 for each unlawful scan. Because Vlahakis Law Group recognizes that these measures of damages are rather significant, we advocate for our clients by approaching potential defendants with reasonable and supportable class action and individual settlements.
