TCPAWORLD AFTER DARK: Fun week

Add a comment

So I just spent two days in Florida meeting with tons of people and speaking for about 10 hours over two days.

Flew home yesterday and today I did back-to-back webinars.

Who does that?

I must really really care about this stuff (and you!).

Meantime the rest of the team was at the big Women in Consumer Finance Event–hi Stephanie!! Heard it was an AMAZING show so GREAT WORK!–so it has been a fun week all around.

Of course, I still expect all the billable work to be in perfect condition and timely delivered, so my poor (I rarely say that) team is definitely burning the candle at both ends right now. Plus I might be a teensy weensy grumpier than usual.

Teensy weensy.

So a couple of quick updates. First, the R.E.A.C.H. board is just about selected. I have my big “come to Czar” call set for next Thursday where I basically tell everyone that I am a Czar of action and this trade organization is going to move at blistering speed, cut through red tape with nails that shine like justice, or something.

You get my point.

Still (barely) some time to get on the board just under the wire if you’re inclined. Major buyer in the debt relief space did just that today.

Anyhoo, several–literally–of you reached out to the Czar today asking for the Duchess’ contact info following her incredible article yesterday.

Man, that thing got a ton of reads. People are REALLY into state law mini-TCPAs these days and–so are we.

Duchess is like a little mini-Pez dispenser that spits out a state law dissertation every time she opens her mouth. All right, I’m tired–this is the 17th hour of my day people–so let’s just go with Pez dispenser.

But the point here is that I have updated TCPAWorld to provide contact info for the team. Just click the “Contact the Team” tab on the main menu:

And I know, we’re a week late on having our website up. I bit the head off my web designer yesterday–which is a little unfair since theyve been asking me to review revised content (which I havent been terribly happy with) so the delay is somewhat on me. Anyway– website up soon.

But until it is you can reach out to any of your favorite TCPAWorld personalities by visiting the “Contact the Team” button.

That’s it. Goodnight all. Love you TCPAWorld.

Published by Eric J. Troutman

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
