Wisconsin TCPA Lawyer — Stop Robocalls & Spam Texts
If you are receiving unwanted robocalls, spam texts, or auto-dialed calls from a debt collector or telemarketer, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) gives you the right to fight back. You may be entitled to recover $500 to $1,500 per illegal call or text — and in most cases the violator pays your attorney's fees.
Attorney Nathan DeLadurantey represents Wisconsin consumers under the TCPA. There is no retainer required to get started, and in successful cases the other side pays our legal fees. Call 414.377.0515 or schedule a free consultation online.
What Is the TCPA?
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal law that prohibits companies, debt collectors, and telemarketers from calling or texting your cell phone using an automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS) or a pre-recorded message without your prior express written consent. It also restricts calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry.
What Counts as a TCPA Violation?
Common TCPA violations include:
- Robocalls or auto-dialed calls to your cell phone without consent
- Pre-recorded or artificial voice messages without consent
- Spam texts or automated text messages from short codes or unknown numbers
- Calls or texts that continue after you have told the caller to stop
- Calls to your number on the Do Not Call Registry
- Robo-voicemails dropped without your phone ringing (also called "ringless voicemails")
What Can You Recover Under the TCPA?
The TCPA provides for statutory damages of $500 per violation for negligent violations, and up to $1,500 per violation for knowing or willful violations — for every individual call or text. In cases involving dozens or hundreds of illegal contacts, damages can quickly reach thousands of dollars. Courts may also award attorney's fees, meaning your legal costs are typically covered if you win.
How Long Do I Have to File a TCPA Claim?
The statute of limitations for a TCPA claim is four years from the date of the violation. That said, the sooner you contact an attorney, the easier it is to preserve records of the calls or texts. If you have been receiving unwanted calls or texts, document them now — save the numbers, screenshot the texts, and note the dates and times.
