Robocall Lawyer in Nevada: $500 to $1,500 Per Illegal Call
Nevada has adopted the Nevada portion of the National Do Not Call Registry as its own list under the state’s Telecommunication Solicitation Act (NRS 228.500 to 228.640), and a separate statute, NRS 597.814, bars automatic dialing and announcing devices from placing calls received in Nevada between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. The federal TCPA sits on top of both and is what pays per call. If illegal calls or texts are hitting your phone in Nevada, you may be owed $500 to $1,500 per call.

Nevada robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA covers everyone in Nevada. State law adds rules for automatic dialing devices and an Attorney General enforced do-not-call registry.
NRS 597.814 says a person shall not use a device for automatic dialing and announcing to deliver a prerecorded message unless a natural voice first tells the person answering what the call is, that a recorded message will follow, and the name, address, and phone number of the business behind it. The same section bars operating such a device to place a call received by a Nevada telephone between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m., and bars a call-back after the person hung up on the first call. Calls to people with a preexisting business relationship are excepted.
The do-not-call side lives in NRS 228.500 to 228.640, in the Attorney General’s chapter. The Attorney General’s office explains that Nevada has adopted the Nevada portion of the National Do Not Call Registry for the state’s Telecommunication Solicitation Act, and that non-exempt telemarketers may not call Nevada consumers on it. There is no separate Nevada registration; if your number is on the national registry, you are covered. The Bureau of Consumer Protection takes complaints online.
None of this replaces the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The TCPA is the law that lets a private person sue for $500 to $1,500 per call or text, and it applies in Reno the same way it applies in Las Vegas. Cases are handled nationwide under the federal TCPA. Local counsel is associated where Nevada rules require it.
Two laws protect Nevada residents
A federal law covers everyone, and Nevada adds its own device rules and registry enforcement.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Nevada, no matter the state rules.
- Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
- $500 to $1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
- You can sue personally, you don’t wait on the government.
Automatic dialing and announcing devices, NRS 597.814; Telecommunication Solicitation, NRS 228.500 to 228.640
How Nevada adds to your protection under the federal rules.
- Calling hours: no automatic dialing device call received in Nevada between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. (NRS 597.814).
- Recorded messages: a live voice must first explain the call and identify the business before a recording plays.
- Do Not Call: the Nevada portion of the National Do Not Call Registry is the state list, enforced by the Attorney General (NRS 228.590).
- A violation is a deceptive trade practice (NRS 228.620); a state claim can sometimes be added to a federal TCPA case.
How the law works in Nevada
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) protects every Nevada resident. It makes it illegal for a company to call or text your cell phone with an autodialer or a prerecorded or artificial voice without your prior express consent, and it bars telemarketing calls to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry. When a company breaks those rules you can sue for $500 per illegal call or text, and up to $1,500 per call when the violation was willful or knowing. Damages are counted per call, so a few months of robocalls to a 702 number in Las Vegas or Henderson, or a 775 number in Reno, adds up quickly.
Nevada layers two sets of rules on top. NRS 597.814 governs devices for automatic dialing and announcing: no prerecorded message unless a natural voice first explains the call and identifies the business, no such call received in Nevada between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m., and no call-back after the person hung up. NRS 228.500 to 228.640 give the Attorney General a registry of numbers that may not be solicited, and the office has adopted the Nevada portion of the National Do Not Call Registry for that purpose; calling a number in the registry is prohibited under NRS 228.590 and treated as a deceptive trade practice. The Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection enforces these rules. A state claim can sometimes be added to a TCPA case, but the TCPA is the statute with a clear private right of action and fixed per-call damages, so it is the engine of the claim.
A federal TCPA claim for a Nevada resident is filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, which covers the whole state from courthouses in Las Vegas and Reno. Whether the calls hit a phone in North Las Vegas, Sparks, or Carson City, the same court and the same federal rule apply. The federal TCPA has a four-year limitations period, but the count of calls and the dates matter, so talk to us before assuming there is time.
Max Morgan, Esq. of The Weitz Firm in Philadelphia represents Nevada residents in these cases. Max is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and because the TCPA is a federal law he handles claims for consumers across the country and associates Nevada counsel where the case requires it. One of the results on this page, Campbell v. Everything Breaks, was a District of Nevada case. Two patterns that often become cases are calls to a number on the Do Not Call list and prerecorded calls to a cell phone. The review is free, and there is no attorney’s fee unless you recover.
Getting illegal calls in Nevada? Do this.
- Register on the national list.Nevada uses the Nevada portion of the National Do Not Call Registry as its state list, so one registration at donotcall.gov covers both. Note the date; calls after it are evidence.
- Keep every call and text.Do not delete the log, the voicemails, or the message threads. A saved recorded message with no live-voice introduction is direct proof under NRS 597.814 and the TCPA.
- Say “stop” and note the date.A company that keeps calling after you tell it to stop is in a worse position under the TCPA, and NRS 597.814 bars a call-back after you hang up on a recorded call. Write down when you said it and to whom.
- File with the Nevada Attorney General.The Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection takes consumer and fraud complaints online at ag.nv.gov. Its Do Not Call page also directs registry complaints to donotcall.gov or 888-382-1222.
- Report it nationally, then get a free review.Report the calls to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and the FCC at fcc.gov/complaints. Then tell us what is happening and we will tell you, free, whether you have a case. Our guide to how to report a robocall covers each step.
Why Nevada residents reach out
Three patterns we hear from Nevada callers. If one sounds like your phone, it is worth a free look.
Prerecorded sales calls to a cell phone without consent violate the TCPA, and an automated call received in Nevada between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. breaks NRS 597.814.
Wrong-number collection robocalls are one of the most common TCPA claims. You do not have to owe the debt to bring one.
Calls to a registered number can violate the TCPA and NRS 228.590. The registration date is the starting line for counting violations.

Nevada robocall FAQs
Does Nevada have its own Do Not Call list?
Not a separate one. The Attorney General’s office has adopted the Nevada portion of the National Do Not Call Registry as the state registry under the Telecommunication Solicitation Act, so registering at donotcall.gov is the only step. Non-exempt telemarketers may not call Nevada consumers on that list, and the Attorney General can bring an action under NRS 228.610.
Which court hears a robocall case for a Nevada resident?
A federal TCPA claim is filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, which covers the entire state from courthouses in Las Vegas and Reno. Some claims can also be brought in state court. We decide venue with you once we have seen the call records.
Do I need a Nevada lawyer for a robocall case?
Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law that applies nationwide. Max Morgan, Esq. is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and handles TCPA claims for consumers across the country, associating Nevada counsel where the rules require it. The case review is free and there is no attorney’s fee unless you recover.
What does Nevada law add on top of the TCPA?
NRS 597.814 requires a live-voice introduction before any recorded sales message, bans automated calls received between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m., and bans call-backs after you hang up. NRS 228.590 bars calls to numbers in the registry and NRS 228.620 makes a violation a deceptive trade practice. A state claim can sometimes be added to a federal case, but the fixed $500 to $1,500 per call comes from the TCPA.
Are there calling-hour rules in Nevada?
Yes, for automated calls. Under NRS 597.814, a device for automatic dialing and announcing may not place a call that is received by a telephone in Nevada between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. For live sales calls, the federal Telemarketing Sales Rule’s 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. window applies. A call outside those hours breaks the rules, and if it was autodialed or prerecorded to your cell it likely breaks the TCPA as well.
