ULTIMATE COMPLIMENT?: Repeat TCPA Litigator Agrees to Accept Lower Settlements if Defendants Switch Away from Troutman Amin, LLP–And This Is LOL Funny

3 Comments

Quick (very funny) story for you today.

Troutman Amin, LLP enjoys an incredibly powerful reputation–no surprise.

Not only does the firm effectuate massive change at the policy level and help orchestrate industry-wide initiatives through our work with R.E.A.C.H., we are also one of the most sought-after counsel for TCPA compliance at advice thanks to Queenie’s presence.

And, oh by the way, any team that has the Czar at the reigns is also automatically the most capable and experienced TCPA class action defense firm on the planet. This is so because–with over 500 successful TCPA class action defenses to date– there is simply no one else out there who has done this more times and is more committed and focused on it than I am. 🙂

Anthony Paronich–the Wolf himself–once said he was going to stop suing my clients because it just “wasn’t worth it” given how hard we fight and the limited settlement dollars our clients tend to pay. Other plaintiff’s lawyers have been less express about ducking us, but the fact is the entire Plaintiff’s bar tends to stay from Troutman Amin, LLP on hot button issues and fight issues–like ATDS cases–against other law firms.

I take all of this as a compliment, of course.

Well one repeat litigator–Nathan Barton–has recently apparently become so desperate to avoid going against us that he has essentially taken to paying TCPA defendants to switch counsel.

I’m serious.

Specifically he is apparently conveying settlements demands with 50% discounts if the TCPA defendant will agree to switch lawyers and not use Troutman Amin, LLP!!!

I have never heard of such thing but I absolutely love it. Highest imaginable compliment. No firmer evidence of the power of the firm then when folks are literally paying folks to use different lawyers. Hahahaha.

For a moment I actually thought about suing him for it–there is a tort of intentional interference with economic relations that fits perfectly here–but then I realized we’d never suffer any damages from this since OBVIOUSLY no client of the firm has ever (or would ever) take him up on his offer to switch lawyers. And when people hear about this–which they will now :)– they’ll be lining up to hire us.

So I figured I’d blog about it–and he actually gave me permission to do so, which I could not believe. (Where is that crying laughing emoji thing?)

Its just one more shining example of the power of Troutman Amin, LLP and just how desperate some folks have become to avoid us out there. There is literally only ONE household name in TCPA compliance and class action defense–and remarkably you won’t pay more for using us in most instances.

Well, unless you’re settling a case with Nathan Barton that is. 😉

Let the settlers call someone else. Let the fighters come and fight.

(And yes I am resting for Solstice, but this was just TOO funny.)

Holiday party pictures soon–I PROMISE.

Also wait until you see the cover for Deserve to Win Issue 3!

Published by Eric "Czar" 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.

  3. Hey, Troutman, I wanted to take a look at this guy’s cases, but when I ran his name through the PACER index I did not find any TCPA cases involving him. Where is this guy filing?
