Protecting Consumers from Robocalls and Texts
We’ve all received those annoying robotic voice calls and unwanted texts. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal law designed to limit unwanted “robocalls.” Our class action attorneys are nationally recognized leaders who have recovered millions of dollars for consumers harassed by unwanted robocalls or texts throughout dozens of cases. We have litigated cases against big banks, aggressive lenders, debt collectors, mortgage and student loan servicers, large retail chains, and home security system retailers. The TCPA only works when consumers step forward to enforce it. If you have recently received unwanted robocalls or texts use the link below for a free consultation.
In addition to TCPA litigation, Terrell Marshall Law Group has experience in litigating matters surrounding the Washington Consumer Electronic Mail Act (CEMA). CEMA covers any use of text messages in Washington State that are sent to “promote real property, goods, or services for sale or lease” without permission of the individual receiving the text.
