Description
Some of the most common complaints to government officials concern robocalls, unsolicited calls, and spam text messages. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) provides an option to fight back against these annoying calls and texts. The TCPA may prohibit a company from calling you on your cell phone or sending you text messages without your written consent. The penalty for violating the TCPA can be up to $1,500 per call or text.
This presentation will discuss the requirements for a successful TCPA case, recent developments in this area of the Business and Sales, and what makes certain TCPA cases better than others.

When Mr. Roberts is not litigating cases, he makes a concerted effort to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and developments in class action litigation and consumer Business and Sales. Mr. Roberts is a nationally-published author and a nationally-recognized lecturer on class action issues.
