Author: Puja "Queenie" Amin

Puja J. Amin is the Queenie and co-founder of TCPAWorld. Other than the Czar, Queenie is probably the best known TCPA lawyer on the planet. Queenie cannot be stopped. One of the best known names in the marketing legal world, she has vast experience defending and counseling businesses on consumer protection laws including the TCPA, CIPA, FCRA and a host of privacy-related statutes. She has provided legal oversight on an enterprise basis to major direct-to-consumer brands and defended some of the largest companies in the nation in major federal court litigation--earning her the title of "Queenie" of the TCPA. She's also a 10+ times Trifecta finisher and international Spartan Race qualifier, who commonly competes in "Ultra" endurance challenges.

About TCPAWorld

TCPAworld.com isn’t just a blog, its a lifestyle obsession for those that eat, sleep, and breathe the TCPA like we do.

We’ll break all the TCPA news–usually before anyone else does–with witty and informative articles that break the mold of stuffy law firm analysis. Yet the analysis you’ll find will always be dead on and steeped in our decades of combined TCPA defense experience.

We do it all for free- no advertisements (other than shameless plugs for my law firm).
