TCPA Lawsuit
TCPA Lawsuits: How to Sue for Illegal Calls and Texts
A TCPA lawsuit is a claim under the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act against a company that called or texted you illegally. The law provides $500 per violating call or text, and up to $1,500 for willful or knowing violations. Most cases are filed in federal court, and many settle once the records are gathered.
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 received robocalls or prerecorded messages you never agreed to
- You got marketing texts without written consent
- Calls or texts kept coming after you said stop or replied STOP
- Your number was on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days
- You can identify the company, brand, or product being promoted
These are screening indicators only. They do not determine whether a claim exists, which depends on the specific facts and applicable law.
Common TCPA violations
The most common TCPA violations are prerecorded or artificial-voice calls to a cell phone without consent, marketing texts sent without prior express written consent, telemarketing to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry, and continued contact after a consumer revoked consent.
Each call or text is a separate violation, so damages can add up quickly when a company contacts you repeatedly.
How a TCPA lawsuit works
A TCPA lawyer first reviews your call log, screenshots, and voicemails to confirm the violations and identify the responsible company. Next comes a demand or a complaint, usually filed in federal court. Discovery can then obtain the defendant's calling records and consent claims.
Many TCPA cases resolve through settlement. No outcome or timeline can be promised, and every case depends on its facts.
Individual lawsuit or TCPA class action
If the same campaign reached many people, a TCPA class action may be possible. If you personally received many calls or texts, an individual case can be the better path. We evaluate both at intake.
Time limits
Federal TCPA claims are generally subject to a four-year limitations period. State claims can be shorter, so it helps to act while your records are still available.
