You May Have a Case If…
Whether any communication violates federal or state law depends on the specific facts and the applicable law. These are the situations we most often review.
Repeated telemarketing calls
Sales or marketing calls that kept coming, often from numbers you did not recognize.
Calls while on the Do Not Call Registry
Marketing calls after your number was registered on the National Do Not Call Registry.
Prerecorded, artificial, or AI voice
A recorded message, synthetic voice, or AI-generated voice on the other end of the line.
Automated or mass marketing texts
Bulk promotional texts, short-code blasts, or messages you never signed up for.
Messages after you replied STOP
Texts that continued after you used the sender's own opt-out keyword.
Contact after consent was revoked
Calls or texts that continued after you asked, in any reasonable way, to be left alone.
Wrong person or wrong party
Calls looking for someone else, or for an account that was never yours.
Debt-collection calls
Collection calls to the wrong person, or placed without appropriate consent.
Calls to a reassigned number
Calls meant for the number's previous owner that kept reaching you.
Junk faxes
Unsolicited advertising faxes sent to your fax line or fax service.
Large-volume or class matters
A campaign that appears to have reached many people the same way.
I'm not sure
You do not need to identify the technology or the statute. Describe what you received and we will look at it.

60-Second Case Checker
Do You Have a TCPA Claim?
Five questions. No email required to see your result. This is a screening tool, not legal advice — whether a claim exists depends on the specific facts and the law that applies where you received the calls.
- Federal law provides $500 per violating call or text, up to $1,500 if willful
- Many states add their own telemarketing and do-not-call remedies
- There is no obligation to proceed
What have you been receiving?
Potential Remedies and Damages
Eligibility and any recoverable amount depend on the facts, the applicable law, the available proof, the defenses raised, and findings made by a court. Nothing here is a prediction or a promise of any outcome.
Statutory damages per qualifying violation
The federal statute may permit up to $500 for certain qualifying violations. Whether any particular call, text, or fax qualifies depends on the facts and the applicable law.
Possible increase for willful or knowing conduct
A court may, in its discretion, increase an award up to three times the amount for a violation found to be willful or knowing. That finding is made by the court, not by the claimant or the firm.
State-law remedies may also apply
Some states provide their own telemarketing, do-not-call, or consumer-protection remedies that can apply alongside a federal claim. Availability varies by state.
Injunctive relief in some matters
In some cases a court may order a party to stop the conduct at issue, in addition to or instead of monetary relief.
Primary sources: 47 U.S.C. § 227, FCC consumer guidance, and FTC Do Not Call guidance.

Do These Six Things Today
Evidence disappears fast. Carrier records roll off, phones get replaced, and threads get cleared. These steps take a few minutes and protect the proof a claim depends on.
- STEP 1
Do not delete anything
Keep every text thread, voicemail, and missed-call entry on the device that received them. Deleted messages are often unrecoverable and are the core proof in these cases.
- STEP 2
Screenshot the messages with dates visible
Capture the sender number, the message body, and the timestamp — including your STOP reply and anything sent afterward.
- STEP 3
Export your call log
Most carriers let you download call detail records for the past several months through your online account. Request them now, before they age out.
- STEP 4
Write down the company name
Note the brand, product, or service being promoted, and any agent, script, or callback number you were given.
- STEP 5
Check your Do Not Call registration
Look up when your number was added to the National Do Not Call Registry. Registration at least 31 days before the calls matters for many claims.
- STEP 6
Record when you asked them to stop
The date, wording, and channel of any stop request — reply text, verbal request, email, or web form.

How We Help
Each area below explains what the law covers, what evidence matters, and how a claim is evaluated.
Nationwide TCPA Lawyer for Unwanted Calls and Texts
If a company called or texted you without permission, kept contacting you after you said stop, or reached you while your number was on the National Do Not Call Registry, federal law may entitle you to statutory damages for each communication. We evaluate claims from consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Federal TCPA Lawyer: Telephone Consumer Protection Act Claims
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act is the primary federal law governing telemarketing calls, autodialed and prerecorded calls, and text messages. It provides consumers a private right of action in federal or state court, with statutory damages of $500 to $1,500 per violation.
Robocall Lawyer: Can I Sue for Illegal Robocalls?
Often, yes. Federal law restricts autodialed and prerecorded marketing calls placed without your consent, and it allows $500 per call, or up to $1,500 per call for willful or knowing violations. The question is not whether the calls were annoying; it is whether the caller had valid consent and whether the calls can be traced to a responsible company.
Spam Text Lawyer: Unwanted and Unsolicited Text Messages
Text messages are treated as calls under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Marketing texts sent without prior express written consent, or sent after you opted out, can carry statutory damages of $500 to $1,500 per message. Several states add their own damages for text solicitations.
Do Not Call Lawyer: Registry Violations and Internal Do-Not-Call Requests
If your number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry and you received two or more telemarketing calls or texts from the same company within a 12-month period, you may have a claim under 47 U.S.C. § 227(c) and 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(c).
A Company Keeps Calling After I Said Stop
Once you tell a company to stop calling, it must honor that request. Consumers may revoke consent through any reasonable means, and calls that continue afterward are among the most straightforward violations under federal law.
Texts Keep Coming After I Replied STOP
Replying STOP is a recognized method of revoking consent. When marketing texts continue after your opt-out, each subsequent message may be a separate violation, and the evidence usually sits in the message thread on your phone.
Telemarketing Harassment Lawyer: Repeated Unwanted Sales Calls
Repeated sales calls that ignore your requests to stop, arrive outside permitted hours, or hide the caller's identity may violate federal telemarketing rules and state telemarketing statutes at the same time.
Debt Collection Robocalls and Repeated Collector Calls
Collection calls raise two separate bodies of law. The TCPA governs how the calls are placed, including prerecorded messages and autodialed calls to cell phones. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act governs collector conduct, including repeated calls and calls after a written cease request.
Repeated Wrong-Number Calls Intended for Someone Else
If a company keeps calling you looking for a different person, you never gave that company consent to call your number. Wrong-party calls remove the caller's most common defense and are often actionable even after you explain the mistake.
Prerecorded and Artificial-Voice Call Lawyer
Marketing calls that use a prerecorded or artificial voice generally require prior express written consent, whether they reach a cell phone or a residential line. A single such call can be actionable, and the voicemail it leaves is often complete proof of the violation.
AI-Generated Voice Calls and Consumer Protection
In 2024 the FCC confirmed that calls using AI-generated voices are artificial voices under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. That means an AI voice bot placing a marketing call is subject to the same consent requirements as a traditional prerecorded message.
TCPA Class Action Lawyer: Campaign-Wide Robocall and Text Cases
Automated calling and texting campaigns reach thousands of consumers with the same script and the same list. Where the conduct is common across the group, a matter may be appropriate for a federal or state class action. Whether a class is certified is a decision for the court.
State Telemarketing Laws and Mini-TCPA Statutes
Every state addresses telephone solicitation, but the protections vary widely. Some states provide their own statutory damages and a private right of action; others rely primarily on state enforcement, leaving the federal TCPA as the consumer's main remedy.
State Consumer Protection Claims | Calls & Texts
Beyond dedicated telemarketing statutes, nearly every state has a general consumer protection or unfair trade practices act. In many states, an unlawful solicitation is itself an unfair or deceptive practice, which can add actual damages, statutory minimums, trebling, or attorney fees.
TCPA Claim Check — Find Out If Your Calls or Texts Qualify
Answer a few questions about the calls or texts you received and we will tell you whether your situation fits the patterns federal law protects against. Statutory damages under the TCPA run from $500 to $1,500 per call or text, and many consumers qualify without realizing it. The check is free, confidential, and takes about a minute.
On the Do Not Call Registry and Still Getting Calls?
Registering your number on the National Do Not Call Registry is supposed to stop telemarketing calls. When a company calls anyway, federal law treats that as a violation in itself — worth up to $500 per call, and up to $1,500 per call when the caller knew better. If you are registered and the calls kept coming, tell us what happened.
Spam Calls Lawyer — The Calls You Hate May Be Worth Money
If your phone rings daily with spam — extended car warranties, fake utilities, debt relief pitches, spoofed local numbers — some of those calls are not just annoying, they are illegal. The TCPA sets statutory damages of $500 to $1,500 per illegal call, and the callers' own dialing records often prove the case. Tell us about the calls and we will evaluate them for free.
Unwanted Call Lawyer — You Never Agreed to These Calls
Consent is the line the law draws. If a company is calling you and you never agreed to be called — or you took that permission back — each call may be a federal violation worth $500 to $1,500. It does not matter whether the calls come from a live agent, a prerecorded voice, or an AI-generated one. Tell us about the calls and we will evaluate your options nationwide.
Find Your State's Calling and Texting Laws
Many states have their own telemarketing and do-not-call statutes that can apply alongside the federal TCPA. Select your state to see what applies where you received the calls.
