Steven M. Chait

As a follow-up to Mr. Steven Chait's (Reg # 33747) legal services. It was apparent Mr. Chait was not looking at the case filings. During my case, Mr. Kevin Even (Reg # 38599), the attorney representing the defendant uploaded a range of unredacted documents to PACER. For readers that are unfamiliar... with the system, the purpose is below. (The Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) service provides electronic public access to federal court records. PACER provides the public with instantaneous access to more than 1 billion documents filed at all federal courts). Note once the records are placed on PACER, the information is indexed on the web in addition to third party legal compiler websites. However, Mr. Chait failed to look at these sensitive filings. What is also extraordinary, I had to notify Mr. Chait about the incident after discovering these PII unredacted documents on the web, however it had been already months later and therefore the unredacted data dump by Mr. Kevin Even was not curable. The range of unredacted documents involving PII data that Mr. Kevin Even uploaded was personal identifying information including but not limited to social security numbers, date of births and addresses. Most importantly, the unredacted documents also contained a three-year-old PII data. Subsequently my family was forced to place security freezes on credit reports and alerts with other relevant institutions. Opinion: A word of caution to prospective clients. Do not engage the services, you will not receive effective legal representation.
