Unwanted Calls or Texts? You Can Fight Back.

If you’re receiving unwanted solicitation robocalls or texts—either from companies you never gave permission to contact you or from companies who continue to contact you after you told them to stop—may have a legal claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

At Marcus Zelman, LLC, we fight for consumers nationwide who’ve had their peace interrupted by unlawful marketing tactics. We hold companies accountable—and help you recover what you’re owed.

What Is the TCPA?

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal law that:

  • Prohibits robocalls and spam texts sent without prior consent

  • Bans prerecorded or artificial voice messages

  • Regulates autodialers and automatic dialing systems

  • Requires compliance with the National Do Not Call Registry

  • Allows consumers to opt out of communications at any time

Who’s Liable?

Many types of companies violate the TCPA, including:

  • Debt collectors and payday lenders

  • Credit repair and consolidation companies

  • Retailers, fitness clubs, or subscription services

  • Student loan servicers and telemarketing agencies

  • Political campaigns and surveys

Even if the call or voicemail was from a known brand, they can still be held accountable.

You May Be Entitled to Compensation

For each illegal call or text:

  • $500 per violation

  • Up to $1,500 if the contact was willful or knowing

Even a handful of messages can result in thousands of dollars in statutory damages.

What Counts as a Violation?

You may have a case if:

  • You received marketing calls or texts without your consent

  • You asked the sender to stop but they continued
  • You were contacted by a company using an autodialer or prerecorded voice
  • You received messages despite being on the National Do Not Call list
  • The messages you received were from apps, lenders, marketers, or debt collectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)?

The TCPA is a federal law that restricts telemarketing calls, auto-dialed calls, prerecorded calls, text messages, and unsolicited faxes. It protects consumers from unwanted and intrusive communications from businesses and debt collectors.

What are common violations of the TCPA?

Common violations include:

  • Receiving robocalls or texts without your prior express consent
  • Calls to your cell phone using an autodialer
  • Telemarketing calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry
  • Prerecorded or artificial voice messages without consent
  • Unsolicited fax advertisements
How do I know if I have a TCPA claim?

If you received repeated calls or text messages without your permission, especially from telemarketers, debt collectors, or companies you never interacted with, you may have a claim. We offer a free consultation to evaluate your case.

What can I recover in a TCPA lawsuit?

You may be entitled to:

  • $500 per violation of the TCPA
  • Up to $1,500 per willful or knowing violation
  • Injunctive relief to stop further contact
Do I need to keep records of the calls or texts?

Yes, keeping screenshots, call logs, voicemails, or saved text messages can help your case. But even if you don’t have full documentation, we can often obtain evidence during the investigation process.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we recover money for you.

What if I gave consent but later revoked it?

Under the TCPA, you can revoke consent at any time. If the calls continued after you clearly told them to stop, they may be liable.

How do I get started?

Call us (732) 695-3282 or fill out our online intake form for a free case evaluation. We’ll review your situation and let you know how we can help.

 

We are driven by the shared vision of consumer representation, not fees.

Client Testimonies (4.9 Stars Google Reviews)

Last year, I broke my elbow at an event where I slipped and fell really hard. I was unable to resume my everyday tasks for months and was in severe pain. At first, I was hesitant to get an attorney. When I finally got the courage to reach out, I knew I could trust the Marcus and Zelman team. They were there for me every step of the way and guided me through this difficult time. From physical therapy, doctors and insurance companies they handled everything seamlessly. I was very impressed by their professionalism, honesty and the result felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders
Becky from New Jersey / Personal Injury
Imagine calling your mortgage broker and seeking a new mortgage to purchase your retirement home and being told you are currently two months behind on your current mortgage and your credit score has plummeted. Knowing this to be a mistake, I called my mortgage company who, in short, refused to correct their mistake. My credit was so impacted that I couldn't borrow money to do the needed repairs to be completed before moving into our new home on the lake. I maxed out ever credit card and depleted our savings to move in. It was humiliating! After contacting Marcus & Zelman, things began to turn around. The tenacity and unwavering effort they put into my case put me at ease. I felt they would make this wrong - right. The attorneys and I spoke often and were available immediately to speak to me whenever I called. The firm remained focused on the objective to make me whole again.
Peter / Credit Reporting Errors
The calls I was receiving were becoming more and more stressful, but thankfully I had Marcus and Zelman taking control of the situation. Their efforts helped give me the peace of mind I needed. They were always very responsive and informed me of what to expect whenever any future occurrence would arise that I needed to know about. My experience with Marcus and Zelman was phenomenal and I couldn’t recommend them more.
