The Process
How it works
From registration to cash — here's exactly what happens when you work with LAC.
The Law
The TCPA in plain English
$500
Per negligent violation
Every call placed using automated dialing technology or a pre-recorded message without your explicit consent is worth a minimum of $500 in statutory damages.
$1,500
Per willful violation
If a company knowingly or willfully violated the TCPA — such as continuing to call after you asked them to stop — the court can triple the statutory penalty to $1,500 per call.
Private Right
You can enforce it yourself
Unlike many federal regulations that require a government agency to act, the TCPA gives you a direct right to take legal action personally. You don't need to wait for the FCC.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act was signed into law in 1991 and has been strengthened by FCC rulemaking ever since. It restricts the use of automatic telephone dialing systems (auto-dialers), pre-recorded voice messages, and text messages sent without prior express written consent. It also requires companies to maintain an internal Do Not Call list and honor all removal requests within 30 days. Each individual violation is independently actionable — meaning a company that called you 40 times potentially owes $20,000 to $60,000 in statutory damages for those calls alone.
Step by Step
Your case, step by step
Eight stages from registration to settlement.
You register your number
You complete our qualification form with your phone number and basic information about the calls you've been receiving. This takes approximately two minutes.
We analyze your call history
Our team cross-references your number against federal call databases, carrier records, and known TCPA violators to identify every illegal call associated with your number.
We assess your violations
Each identified call is evaluated against TCPA requirements — checking consent records, call timing, dialing technology, and the caller's registration status.
You receive a case summary
We send you a detailed summary of the violations identified, the companies involved, and an estimate of your potential recovery under TCPA statutory damages.
Attorney engagement begins
With your approval, a licensed attorney from our network formally takes on your case. The fee arrangement is explained in full before any work begins.
Demand letters are issued
Your attorney sends formal demand letters to each violating company, citing the specific TCPA violations and the amount owed under federal statute.
Negotiations and settlement
Most companies prefer to settle rather than face extended proceedings. Your attorney negotiates on your behalf to reach the highest possible settlement.
Cash arrives
Once a settlement is finalized, disbursement is processed per the terms of your engagement letter. In most cases, you never need to appear in court.
