Your Legal Rights
Telemarketers. You Report Them. We Investigate.
Telephone Consumer Protection Law
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), enacted in 1991, and similar state laws protect consumers from certain unwanted telemarketing calls and text messages.
If you report calls to us, we will review your report and may try to identify the caller and evaluate whether the calls violated the law. If we believe you may have a claim, an attorney may discuss your options with you.
What Types of Calls or Texts May Violate Consumer Protection Laws?
Federal and state laws regulate certain telemarketing calls and text messages. Depending on the circumstances, potential violations may include certain prerecorded or artificial-voice calls, telemarketing calls or texts made without legally required consent, calls to numbers registered on the National Do Not Call Registry, or communications sent after a valid request to stop.
Whether a particular call or text violates the law depends on the specific facts. Our attorneys evaluate each potential claim individually.
What Remedies Does the TCPA Provide?
The TCPA provides for statutory damages of $500 per violation, which a court may increase up to $1,500 if the violation was willful or knowing. Whether you have a claim, and what it may be worth, depends on the facts.
Submitting a report does not mean a claim will be filed. We file a claim only after our review and only with your written authorization and a signed engagement agreement. You pay nothing out of pocket to report calls or for our review.
