Plaintiff’s Side TCPA Firm Paying $770k Bonuses–And THIS is Why TCPAWorld is the Most Dangerous Place in Law

2 Comments

If you read this blog you know #BigLaw firms are constantly getting destroyed in TCPA cases.

You might wonder why that is.

Its because the TCPAWorld is so complex, fast moving, high-stakes and sophisticated that only the GREATEST LAWYERS IN AMERICA can succeed in this space.

And those lawyers don’t last very long in #biglaw– which is designed to maximize profits over skills/results.

But law firms like Bursor & Fisher– a TCPA Plaintiff’s firm– attract the best talent in the country and pay accordingly.

They are handing out annual bonuses as high as $770,000.00 this year!

HOLY INSANITY.

That blows #biglaw pay completely out of the water.

Couple of lessons from this:

  1. I am on the wrong side of the law. The Plaintiff’s bar makes WAY WAY WAY more money than we do on the defense side. But I’d still rather protect and guide businesses rather than rob them for large sums of money in lawsuits;
  2. Big law firms are not going to stand a chance in this incredibly sophisticated area of law when there are sharks like Bursor & Fisher (and many others) patrolling these waters; and
  3. The wonderful lawyers at Troutman Amin, LLP– who get paid very well but not THAT well– should be praised for being perhaps the only DEFENSE side lawyers who can stand up to these guys and who are sacrificing big dough for their principles.

Speaking of Troutman Amin, LLP– our rates rise January 1, 2026. So get it now and save a ton!

Chat soon.

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. So, is the takeaway here that your hourly rate of $6000/hour is “chump change”?

  2. Speaking of guidance for your clients, did you tell them to have their suppliers buy those peaky risky warm transfers in order to schedule appointments on their behalf? Brilliant!

    I’ll still add it to my case though.
