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. Speaking of overlooked laws, 20k cases and recovering a billion dollars appears to be an earnings claim. I think this would count as a seller assisted marketing plan in California and also trigger FTC business opportunity disclosures. Practically every state has some version of California’s seller assisted marketing plan law.

    Social media has made this type of advertising more prominent than ever. It’s my understanding that the penalties are pretty harsh for a company not to comply.

  2. Sadly, the legal profession is viewed with a jaundiced eye by the average American. You appear to criticize Hindi for doing precisely what you do. Fifty years ago, lawyers could not advertise. That all changed in 1977, when the U.S. Supreme Court made a landmark decision in Bates v. State Bar of Arizona. Does Hindi have less rights because he represents plaintiffs? There are a lot of TCPA defendants out there that deserve to be sued!

  3. It only will cost me $20,000 to make $40,000 on my first case. I am signing up! Thanks for the info.

    1. It seems like a fairly good investment, doesn’t it? And since plaintiff attorneys generally co-counsel with one another in order to apply those resources that are within each of the law firm’s expertise, that combined bench lends an advantage to plaintiffs. So, if you go, at a minimum, you’ll meet some interesting “partners” (a.k.a. future “co-counsel”).

      As to the inverse, while the plaintiff’s bar subscribes to the philosophy of “we are greater than the sum of our parts”, the defense bar is more interested in a scorched-earth litigation that wins battles but loses wars. The defense bar suffers when congeniality and congruent efforts diverge – and that happens often. Which results in absolutely abhorrent outcomes and draw a quick line from the docket to this blog.

      If I were an attorney, I’d pay to go. If I were an attorney, I’d also go to the Troutman conference. However, I am not an attorney, so I just live vicariously. 😉

      (In full disclosure, while Troutman et al seem to exude high confidence, with rates to match, I do not group them in the category that I described about the defense bar).
