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. Great episode! I know you guys are skeptical that someone can get so many spam calls without actively setting them up, but I absolutely believe David Tom. I’ve seen this same type of deluge happen to multiple people I know who have kept their landline phones. Several media outlets, including the New York Times, have run stories about this phenomenon in the past two weeks. Most of the calls are scams involving Medicare or burial insurance, and some people are getting 60 a day. Maybe this will start to slow down, as the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force has just announced a new crackdown on a few of the telcoms that are carrying a large amount of the bad traffic.

    It’s funny that you say (paraphrasing) “this is why people don’t like repeat litigators”. I would bet that most people who watch this interview will see David as quite likable, and will appreciate his vigilantism against those who are harassing our parents and grandparents and trying to plunder our future inheritances. It sounds like he tries to settle each claim before filing, so I don’t believe that he’s trying to kill small businesses. If he was, he’d jump in right away with a $5 million class action. But let’s be honest, the buck-passing in the telemarketing industry would be considered laughable in any other context. Small businesses go under all the time because they didn’t vet their suppliers, or they didn’t buy enough liability insurance, or they made a lousy hire who broke the law or did something negligent. I’m not sure why companies that continually buy bad leads and blast out illegal calls should get to play by different rules.

  2. Geez, flashback to the Watergate tapes…where is the missing 15 second audio between 42:00 and 42:15?!?!? When you asked him about other phone lines/#’s he may have?

    So because you claim to only get 2-3 calls a day, he must be manufacturing lawsuits since he gets 50+?!?!

    Check YouMail for November 2025 alone…3.9 BILLION calls, somebody sure is getting a boat load of calls!! And that’s up 3.3% MoM https://robocallindex.com/2025/november

    Hey, even you yourself have posted about the 45% lead gen fraud scenario…

    Your pleading for the ‘small biz’ facing extinction due to ‘inadvertent’ bad lead purchases – hey do they not read the contract they sign with lead gens?
    Rather than fold the biz, why not turn over the lead gen selling them the crap leads, or file counter-claims as Tom suggested??

    If it’s really that bad, just how many of the ‘small businesses’ are you defending pro bono?
