Alabama TCPA Lawyer: Robocalls, Spam Texts, and Do Not Call Violations
Consumers in Alabama are protected by the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act and, in appropriate cases, by Alabama Telemarketing Act. Enforcement is primarily through the Attorney General; consumers most often rely on the federal TCPA.
Because Alabama's telemarketing statute is enforced largely by the state, most Alabama consumer claims we evaluate are brought as federal TCPA claims in the Northern, Middle, or Southern District of Alabama.

How federal and Alabama claims work together
A single unwanted call or text can support more than one claim. The federal TCPA addresses how the communication was placed, including autodialed calls, prerecorded and artificial-voice messages, and calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. Alabama Telemarketing Act and the Alabama Deceptive Trade Practices Act address conduct under Alabama law and can add remedies. Federal TCPA statutory damages of $500 per violation, or up to $1,500 for willful or knowing violations.
