Have you received unwanted robocalls, spam texts, or telemarketing calls without your consent? You may have a claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Counsel Hound connects prospective clients with vetted TCPA attorneys who can review qualifying calls and texts, explain available options, and help protect consumer privacy.
Do You Have a TCPA Claim?
Some robocalls, prerecorded messages, telemarketing calls, or spam texts sent without the required consent may violate the TCPA. Before speaking with an attorney, save:
- Screenshots of calls and text messages
- The dates and times of each contact
- The caller, sender, or company name and phone number
- Any consent, opt-out, or consent-revocation records
- Your Do Not Call Registry details, when relevant
An attorney can assess the facts and determine whether the communications may qualify under the law. You can also learn more about your rights under the TCPA.
What Is Your TCPA Claim Worth?
The TCPA provides statutory damages for qualifying violations. A court may award $500 for a violation and up to $1,500 for a willful or knowing violation. The amount available depends on the facts, and no recovery is guaranteed.
Documenting each contact is important because every qualifying call or text may be evaluated separately. A TCPA attorney can review your records and explain which communications may support a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be sued for a TCPA violation?
A business or other party responsible for prohibited calls or texts may be sued for a qualifying TCPA violation. Liability depends on who initiated or authorized the communication and the specific facts. A TCPA attorney can review the sender, caller, and available records.
What types of calls or texts may violate the TCPA?
Potential violations may include certain robocalls, prerecorded messages, telemarketing calls, or automated texts sent without the consent required by law. Calls made after consent was revoked or to a number on the Do Not Call Registry may also be relevant. An attorney can determine whether a particular contact qualifies.
How much compensation may be available for a TCPA violation?
The TCPA may allow $500 in statutory damages for a qualifying violation and up to $1,500 for a willful or knowing violation. Any available compensation depends on the evidence and the court’s findings, and an outcome is never guaranteed.
What evidence should I save before speaking with a TCPA attorney?
Save screenshots, call logs, text messages, voicemails, dates and times, caller or company details, and records showing that you opted out or revoked consent. If relevant, keep confirmation of your Do Not Call Registry registration.
How long do I have to file a TCPA claim?
TCPA claims generally have a four-year statute of limitations, but deadlines can depend on the circumstances. Speak with an attorney promptly so evidence can be preserved and the filing deadline can be assessed.
Can a TCPA attorney help if I already asked the company to stop?
Yes. Communications received after you asked a company to stop may be important to a TCPA claim. Save your opt-out request or other proof that you revoked consent, along with every later call or text, for an attorney to review.
