A Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) lawsuit puts your business on a short clock. The statute allows $500 to $1,500 in damages for every call or text, so a single complaint can carry six- or seven-figure exposure, and one plaintiff’s claim can quickly grow into a class action.

Miller Law is a Michigan TCPA defense law firm that represents businesses sued in Michigan’s state and federal courts. Our litigators move quickly to evaluate your exposure, protect your records, and build a defense strategy that fits your business, whether that means dismissing the case early or resolving it on the right terms.

Defending Against Serial TCPA Plaintiffs in Michigan

Some plaintiffs file TCPA lawsuits again and again. They track calls closely, know the statutes well, and often target companies that rely on outbound calling and third-party leads. These cases call for a different approach than a one-time consumer complaint, and our TCPA defense attorneys tailor the strategy to the plaintiff in front of you.

Reviewing the Plaintiff’s Litigation History and Patterns

We research the plaintiff’s prior lawsuits, settlements, and filing patterns. Repeat filings, multiple phone numbers, detailed call logs, or a history of quick settlements can raise real questions about consent, injury, and credibility. That history often shapes both the defense and the leverage available in negotiations.

Challenging Standing and Other Claims

A plaintiff must show a concrete injury to bring a claim in court, and the facts do not always support one. We also test every element of the complaint, including:

  • Whether the plaintiff gave prior express consent, or invited the calls
  • Whether the calls used an autodialer or prerecorded voice, as the TCPA defines those terms
  • Whether your company actually placed the calls, or can be held liable for calls made by a vendor
  • Whether the claims are timely, properly pleaded, and filed in the right court

Deciding Between Early Resolution and Litigating

Sometimes the smartest move is an early, confidential resolution. Other times, settling invites more lawsuits from the same plaintiff or others who follow their lead. We give you a candid view of the costs, risks, and long-term consequences of each path so you can make the right business decision.

TCPA Litigation Defense for Businesses

Miller Law handles every stage of TCPA litigation, from the first demand letter to final resolution. Our approach draws on decades of commercial litigation and class action litigation experience in Michigan courts. 

Early Case Assessment and Risk Analysis

We quickly calendar every deadline, estimate potential exposure, and identify the strongest defenses. We also review vendor agreements for indemnification rights that may shift the cost of defense or liability.

Motions to Dismiss and Dispositive Motions

Many TCPA claims can be narrowed or defeated before costly discovery. We file motions to dismiss for lack of standing, failure to state a claim, or lack of personal jurisdiction, and pursue summary judgment when the record supports it. When a case is filed as a class action, we work to defeat or limit class certification.

Settlement Negotiation

We negotiate from a position of strength. We structure settlements to limit future exposure, set payment and compliance terms that work for your business, and secure releases broad enough to close the matter for good.

Who We Represent

Our Michigan TCPA lawyers defend:

  • Businesses and their employees who have been sued. TCPA complaints sometimes name owners, officers, or employees personally. We defend both the company and the individuals involved.
  • Businesses using outbound calling or texting programs. This includes insurance agencies and other companies that market by phone or text.
  • In-state and out-of-state companies sued in Michigan. Many of our TCPA clients are based outside Michigan. We appear in Michigan state courts and in the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan, and we coordinate closely with in-house counsel wherever you are.

Common Questions About TCPA Defense

Act quickly. Response deadlines are strict. Preserve all call and text records, consent documentation, scripts and vendor agreements. Don’t contact the plaintiff directly. Then contact an experienced TCPA defense attorney to evaluate the claim and develop a response strategy.

A serial TCPA plaintiff is someone who files TCPA lawsuits repeatedly, often against businesses (including insurance companies and agencies), telemarketing companies, call centers, and lead generators. Some keep detailed call logs and file multiple suits each year. If a serial plaintiff has sued your company, their filing history can become an important part of your defense.

Get and document proper consent before calling or texting, scrub lists against the National Do Not Call Registry and your internal do-not-call list, honor opt-out requests promptly, and limit calling hours. Carefully vet lead generator companies to ensure they are established and have a history of complying with TCPA laws. Review vendor contracts, train staff regularly, and have an attorney audit your calling and texting practices.
