Federal and State Laws
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.
We evaluate claims from consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Matters are pursued in federal and state courts, including through association with qualified local counsel or pro hac vice admission where required.
Your situation may qualify if…
- You want to know what your state adds to the federal claim
- You received calls or texts while living in or traveling through more than one state
- You want to know whether treble damages may be available
These are screening indicators only. They do not determine whether a claim exists, which depends on the specific facts and applicable law.
States with the strongest consumer remedies
Florida, Oklahoma, Washington, South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Massachusetts, and New Jersey are among the states whose statutes provide meaningful per-violation damages, trebling, or fee recovery for telephone and text solicitations.
In these states, the state claim can be worth more than the federal claim, which is why we screen for it at intake.
Which state's law applies
Generally, the state where you received the communications is the starting point, though your residence and the caller's location also matter. If you moved or traveled during the calling period, tell us; it can expand the available claims.
