FAIR WARNING!!– Troutman Amin, LLP Rates Are Set to SPIKE Next Year (So Get In Now!)

2 Comments

Troutman Amin, LLP partners after a great day in court!

Basically no law firm in America publicizes their rates. Not sure why that is, but they all keep it super secret.

None of that for me thanks.

Here’s the deal. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. Work with the best legal team on the planet. And everybody wants to be a part of it.

Love that, of course.

And market dynamics being what they are there is only a limited SUPPLY of something (us) that there is a massive DEMAND for all across the country.

So what does that mean?

Yep–prices go up.

Love you all. But sorry not sorry.

Let me be clear out front THIS PRICE INCREASE DOES NOT APPLY TO EXISTING CLIENTS!!!

We believe in LOYALTY around here.

Those who retained the firm back in 2022 got the lowest rates. Period. Because they were smart and loyal. And we will be loyal right back to them. Same thing with folks in 2023 and now in 2024.

We will NOT be raising rates on any client that retained us in 2023 or 2024 moving into 2025. Not even one dollar.

And those of you that retained us in 2022 will see a small (5%) adjustment, which I know you’re happy with because you’re getting such tremendous value (and we LOVE delivering that for you.)

But for the new folks that have stumbled upon us–or those that have been long time fence dwellers– well, you may want to jump on the opportunity to retain the firm and lock in rates. Because they’re about to skyrocket (especially for the Czar’s personal time.)

And now, the reveal!

Here is Troutman Amin, LLP’s current rate structure in 2024 (I tell you, no one does this):

2024 RATES

Troutman himself: $1,400.00/hr. (litigation) $2,100.00 (compliance) and $3,600.00/hr. (consulting). 

Amin Herself: $1,200.00/hr. (litigation/compliance) and $2,400.00/hr. (consulting). 

The Baroness: $1,080.00/hr

Associates  on the following scale:

  • First years: $580.00
  • Second years: $620.00
  • Third years: $660.00
  • Fourth years: $700.00
  • Fifth years: $740.00
  • Sixth Years: $770.00
  • Seventh Years: $810.00
  • Eighth years: $850.00
  • Ninth years and above: $890.00.

Yep. There it is. The big secret. Our rates. Hahaha.

But here’s the key. 2025 rates FOR NEW CLIENTS will be as follow:

ANTICIPATED 2025 RATES

Troutman himself: $2,100.00/hr. (litigation) $4,200.00 (compliance) and $6,300.00/hr. (consulting). 

Amin Herself: $1,800.00/hr. (litigation/compliance) and $3,600.00/hr. (consulting). 

The Baroness: $1,250.00/hr

Associates  on the following scale:

  • First years: $680.00
  • Second years: $720.00
  • Third years: $760.00
  • Fourth years: $800.00
  • Fifth years: $840.00
  • Sixth Years: $870.00
  • Seventh Years: $910.00
  • Eighth years: $950.00
  • Ninth years and above: $990.00.

Other timekeepers (clerks, paralegals, etc.) will also be going up.

So yeah, pretty big jump all the way down here. Still think we’re being pretty conservative considering HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED HELP as we move to the new one-to-one rule, but I always want to help people. So didn’t want to completely crush folks’ ability to retain us.

And without question $4,200.00 an hour for my compliance advice is still a MASSIVE BARGAIN. In 30 minutes I can save your business. So.. yeah.

But please understand we believe in fairness around here, so we are very transparent with our rates but also very inflexible. Its not fair to require one client to pay one rate while another pays a different rate (unless they signed up earlier–then its totally fair.) I know some law firms do that but it sucks in my view.

So please understand these ARE the rates people will be paying in 2025 for us (although we do have some super-secret buydown options for folks willing to pay a large true retainer up front.)

With dance moves like these, how could we not succeed?

Speaking of true retainers–the retainer requirement to engage the firm will also be going up in 2025 so… yeah. Engage us now if you’re going to.

Anyway there you go. Spread the word if there are some folks out there you think need our help. Don’t wait until 2025 folks!

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.

  1. Could you turn this post into an affidavit for plaintiff’s lawyers to use to support reasonableness of their rates?! Asking for a friend.

  2. Send me a thick stack of your business cards and I will get them into the hands of some TCPA defendants.
