TCPA CLASS ACTIONS MORE THAN DOUBLE!!: The Pace of TCPA Filings in 2025 Continues to Skyrocket

2 Comments

So I was talking to a very well known TCPA Plaintiff’s attorney yesterday who told me his filing pace of TCPA class cases was “higher than ever.”

Spoke to another Plaintiff’s lawyer last week who said he had hired two attorneys recently and was looking to hire two more.

There is no question the Plaintiff’s bar is scaling their TCPA operations and there is no end in sight to it. But the results are astounding.

2024 was the peak year for TCPA class actions– with more class actions filed last year than any other year in the TCPA’s history.

2025, however, is set to blow 2024 away.

In the first three months of 2024 there were 239 TCPA class actions filed.

In 2025?

507.

That’s more than double the filings from 2024 so far YTD. 

That’s means TCPA class litigation is up over 112% year over year and April’s numbers look to be catastrophically high again.

Indeed, nearly 80% of all TCPA cases are now being filed as class actions. This is compared to 2-5% of other consumer cases that are filed as class cases. (Thanks to WebRecon for the data sets, btw.)

There is no question, therefore, that the TCPA is the single biggest litigation to American businesses out there right now and it continues to be the biggest cash cow in history for the Plaintiff’s bar.

And with other law firms flat giving false advise with respect to the FCC’s new revocation rules–my goodness– it looks like TCPA class actions will continue to spike.

PROTECT YOURSELF FOLKS.

Get compliance advice from a great firm that KNOWS THIS STUFF. And if you do get sued in a TCPA class action do not mess around– get ace level counsel in your corner.

Hope to see you all next week in DC! 

Chat soon.

  1. Action, reaction. Cause, effect. Number of robo calls are up; it follows that number of TCPA filings is up. Consumers are fed up with the non-stop barrage of invasive telemarketing calls. But, telemarketers don’t care, they persist. The consumers wear the white hats. The telemarketers wear the black hats. If only more telemarketers would join R.E.A.C.H. and adhere to the R.E.A.C.H. standards, think how much better the TCPAWorld would be.
