Is it worth suing a telemarketer?
Because the law fixes $500 to $1,500 per call and the amounts stack, even a modest run of illegal calls can be worth pursuing. It costs nothing to find out.

Short answer
Often, yes. Unlike most disputes, TCPA damages don’t depend on what the calls cost you. The law sets a flat $500 to $1,500 per illegal call, and they stack. A few weeks of robocalls can add up to a meaningful claim. Yours clears that bar based on the facts, and finding out is free.
Why the math often works
- Damages are fixed per call at $500, up to $1,500 for willful, and not tied to your losses.
- Calls stack, so even a short campaign can add up quickly.
- You keep the money. These are statutory damages paid to you, not a refund.
- The review is free, with no fee unless you recover.
Why a few calls can be worth real money
Most lawsuits ask what you lost. TCPA cases don’t. The law puts a fixed price on each illegal call, $500, rising to $1,500 if the violation was willful, no matter whether the call cost you a dime. And because every call is its own violation, they stack.
That changes the math. Twenty illegal calls at $500 is $10,000; the same twenty at the willful rate is $30,000. You don’t need a dramatic story, only a pattern of calls that shouldn’t have happened.
Even modest campaigns can clear the bar
People assume it’s only worth it if they were buried in calls. Not so. A handful of after-you-said-stop calls, a recycled number that keeps getting someone else’s debt-collection calls, a string of spam texts: these patterns add up under a per-call rule.
And the ceiling can be high. In one real case, 385 wrong-number calls came to $577,500. Most claims are smaller, and every case is different. It shows what stacking damages can reach when a campaign runs long.
How to know if yours is worth it
The only honest way to know is to have someone count the calls and read the facts. The free review does this: you share your call log, voicemails, and screenshots, and Max Morgan, Esq. tells you straight whether the numbers justify pursuing it. If they don’t, he’ll say so. If they do, he works on contingency, and his fee comes out of the recovery, not your pocket. There’s no cost to find out and no obligation to proceed. No recovery, no fee.

Is it worth it: FAQs
Is it worth suing over just a few calls?
It can be. Because each call is worth $500 to $1,500 and they stack, even a few violations can be a real claim. A free review tells you the numbers for your situation.
Do I get the money, or does it go to the government?
You get it. TCPA damages are paid to the person who was called, which is you. This isn’t a fine the government collects; it’s your recovery.
What if I’m not sure my calls add up to enough?
The free review answers that. You don’t have to do the math or judge your own case. Share what you have, and you’ll get an honest read on whether it’s worth pursuing.
