DECLARATION OF JAMES B. ZOURAS

I, James B. Zouras, declare under penalty of perjury as follows: 

1. I am a member of good standing of the Illinois State Bar and a founder and principal 

of Stephan Zouras, LLP. I am one of the lawyers primarily responsible for prosecuting Plaintiffs’ 

claims on behalf of the putative Class. I was admitted to practice law in the State of Illinois in 

1995. 

2. I submit this declaration in support of the Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion for 

Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement. I make these statements based on personal 

knowledge and would so testify if called as a witness at trial. 

3. I am admitted to the Trial Bar of the of the United States District Court for the 

Northern District of Illinois and have been admitted or admitted pro hac vice to the Central District 

of Illinois, the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the Superior Court for the State of 

California, the Eastern District of Missouri, the District of Maryland, the Southern District of Ohio, 

the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts of Florida, the District of Massachusetts, the Eastern 

District of Michigan, the District of New Jersey, the District of Minnesota, the First Judicial 
2 

District of Pennsylvania, the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the Western District of Washington, 

the Southern and Northern Districts of Iowa, the Western District of North Carolina, and the 

District of Arizona. I have also argued before various federal and state appellate courts as lead 

appellate counsel on at least fourteen occasions and served as lead trial counsel on at least twelve 

major civil jury trials which have gone to verdict. I am also a member of the bar of the Supreme 

Court of the United States. 

4. Since approximately 2002, my practice has been highly concentrated in 

representing employees in cases arising under federal and state wage and hour laws, and other 

statutes, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Illinois Minimum Wage Law 

(IMWL) and comparable state wage and hour laws, and other statutes, across the United States. 

The majority of these cases proceeded as class and/or collective actions. I am frequently invited as 

a speaker at seminars on class actions, employment litigation, and trial practice with national and 

local organizations such as the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA). Most recently, in May 

2020, I spoke at a seminar sponsored by the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education on 

how the COVID-19 crisis is affecting biometric privacy and wage and hour issues. I have also 

testified before committees of the Illinois Senate and Illinois House of Representatives on issues 

relating to worker’s rights. 

5. Since early 2017, my firm and I have also concentrated on representing plaintiffs 

in cases arising under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”). My firm is actively 

prosecuting or has settled over 150 BIPA cases since June 2017. 

6. Stephan Zouras, LLP, has extensive experience representing Plaintiffs as lead 

counsel in numerous class actions. (See Attachment A - Stephan Zouras, LLP Firm Resume). I, 

along with my partner Ryan Stephan, founded Stephan Zouras, LLP, in 2007. 
3 

7. Stephan Zouras, LLP is actively engaged, on a daily basis, with extensive court, 

discovery, and motion practice on their BIPA actions. The firm has secured several favorable 

rulings for employees at both the appellate and trial court levels in connection with novel issues 

and defenses asserted under BIPA, including that BIPA claims are not subject to arbitration as 

“wage and hour” claims, Liu v. Four Seasons Hotel, Ltd., 2019 IL App (1st) 182645, the 

Constitutionality of BIPA, Bruhn v. New Albertson’s, 2018-CH-01737 (Cir. Ct. Cook Cty. Jan. 30, 

2020) (J. Loftus), the inapplicability of BIPA’s “HIPAA exemption” to employees, e.g., Bruhn v. 

New Albertson’s Inc., et al., No. 18-CH-01737 (Cir Ct. Cook Cty. July 2, 2019) (J. Loftus) and 

most recently, on when BIPA claims accrue: specifically, that an aggrieved plaintiff’s claims 

accrue each time an entity collects or disseminates biometric data without securing prior informed 

consent and a release. Cothron v. White Castle System, Inc., 2020 WL 4569694 (Aug. 7, 2020) (J. 

Tharp). 

8. In addition to Ryan and me, our firm currently employs eight attorneys, five of 

whom, along with extensive support staff, are actively involved in the firm’s dedicated BIPA 

practice. 

9. Throughout the pendency of this action, Class Counsel has had the financial 

resources necessary to prosecute this case, and has stood ready and remains able and willing to 

advance necessary expenses and devote significant attorney time from our roster of highlyqualified attorneys and staff to all aspects of this case. The firm has aggressively pursued BIPA 

claims in this case despite many legal issues under BIPA being matters of first impression. 

10. Beginning in October, 2020, the Parties entered into preliminary settlement 

discussions. In an effort to promote efficient settlement discussions, the Parties exchanged 

information relating to the size of the putative settlement class and the claims to be resolved. After 
4 

extensive, arms-length negotiations, the Parties were able to reach an agreement in principle, 

which is memorialized in the Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement” or “Settlement 

Agreement”). See Exhibit 1 attached to Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval 

of Class Action Settlement. 

11. The Settlement includes the Named Plaintiff and approximately 859 Class 

Members. 

12. The terms of the Settlement are contained in the Settlement Agreement. There are 

no undisclosed side agreements between the Named Plaintiff and Defendant. 

13. The proposed Settlement will establish a $987,859.00 Settlement Fund. Each Class 

Member who does not timely and validly exclude themselves from the Settlement will be entitled 

to an equal share of the Settlement Fund, less pro rata reductions for approved amounts for notice 

and administration costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, and a service award to the Named Plaintiff 

from the Settlement Fund. Settlement Class Members do not have to submit a claim form or 

otherwise “opt in” to the Settlement. Funds from settlement checks not cashed in 90 days from 

mailing, will be retained by Defendant or its insurers. 

14. The settlement of this action was the product of well-informed judgments about the 

adequacy of the resolution. The settlement was also the product of arm’s-length, non-collusive 

negotiations. Class Counsel are intimately familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the claims 

and defenses of this case, as well as the factual and legal issues, sufficient to make an informed 

recommendation about the value of the claims, the time, costs and expense of protracted litigation, 

discovery, and appeals, and the adequacy of the Settlement reached. The stage of litigation has 

advanced to a state that Class Counsel could fairly and fully evaluate the value of the Settlement. 
5 

In my professional opinion, the Settlement is fair and reasonable in light of the risk, costs, and 

delay of further litigation. 

15. Class Counsel is unaware of any opposition to the Settlement. 

16. Below are examples of five BIPA settlements in which class members received 

notice of the settlement and direct checks without having to participate in a claims process. In these 

cases, the void date on the checks has now passed. In each of those settlements, the notice rate was 

over 95% and the check cashing rate was over 90%.
