How much does a robocall lawyer cost?
The honest answer surprises people: hiring a TCPA lawyer for a robocall case usually costs you nothing out of pocket. The fee comes out of what you recover, and since each illegal call can be worth $500 to $1,500, the case is built to pay for itself.
Free · No obligation · About 2 minutes · No fee unless you recover
Short answer
Most robocall lawyers, including Max Morgan, Esq., work on contingency, meaning you pay $0 up front and the fee is a share of whatever you recover. The case review is free, and if there’s no recovery, you owe no attorney’s fee. That’s what removes the cost barrier for everyday people.
The short version
- No money up front. You don’t pay an hourly rate or a retainer to get started.
- The fee is a percentage of what you recover. It only exists if money comes in.
- The case review is free, with no obligation to move forward.
- No recovery, no fee. If the case doesn’t recover, you don’t owe an attorney’s fee.
What “contingency” actually means
The reason a robocall case costs nothing to start is a fee arrangement called contingency. Instead of charging you by the hour, the attorney’s payment is contingent. It depends on recovering money for you.
For TCPA cases, this matters because the people getting robocalled are ordinary consumers, not companies with legal budgets. Contingency is what lets you put a real attorney in your corner without writing a check first.
What you pay up front: nothing
The cost at each stage when Max takes a robocall case:
- The case review: free. You find out whether you have a claim at no cost.
- Getting started: $0. There’s no retainer and no hourly billing.
- While the case runs: nothing out of your pocket. The work happens without invoices arriving in your mailbox.
- At the end: the fee comes out of the recovery, only if there is one.
Why this removes the cost barrier
Most people never look into a robocall claim because they assume a lawyer is expensive and the outcome is uncertain. Contingency flips both worries. You’re not gambling your own money, because there’s none to put down. And the attorney only earns a fee by winning a recovery, so your interests and his point the same direction.
That alignment is the whole point. The cost barrier that keeps regular people out of the legal system isn’t there for this kind of case.
How the math works out
Because the TCPA (the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act) fixes the value of each illegal call at $500 to $1,500, robocall claims have a clear structure. The damages stack: a campaign of dozens or hundreds of calls can add up to a meaningful sum.
In one real case, Higgs v. Golden Title Loans, 385 wrong-number calls came to $577,500. Every case is different and results vary, but the contingency model is designed to make these claims worth pursuing for both you and the attorney.
Who you’re hiring
Cost is only half the question. The other half is who’s doing the work. Max Morgan, Esq. is a licensed attorney (Pennsylvania Bar #316096) with The Weitz Firm, LLC, handling consumer TCPA claims nationwide. The same no-fee-unless-you-recover arrangement applies wherever you are.
What it costs to find out
The first step costs you nothing but a few minutes. The review tells you whether your calls add up to a claim and what it could be worth, before any commitment and without a fee attached. If it turns out you have a case, the contingency arrangement takes over from there.

Robocall lawyer cost: FAQs
Do I have to pay anything to start a robocall case?
No. The case review is free and there’s no retainer or hourly fee to get started. Max works on contingency, so his fee only comes out of a recovery.
What happens to the fee if we don’t recover anything?
You owe no attorney’s fee. The whole point of contingency is that the lawyer only gets paid if money is recovered for you. No recovery, no fee.
How is the contingency fee calculated?
It’s an agreed percentage of what’s recovered, spelled out before you sign anything. It comes out of the settlement or award rather than being billed to you separately.
Is the free review really free?
Yes. There’s no cost and no obligation to review your situation and tell you whether you may have a claim. You decide whether to go further from there.
Do I pay anything to talk to a TCPA lawyer?
No. The review is free and carries no obligation. You describe your calls, the attorney tells you whether you have a case, and you pay nothing either way.
What if my case doesn’t recover anything?
Then you owe no attorney’s fee. That’s the core of contingency: the financial risk of an unsuccessful case sits with the attorney, not with you.
How much does the lawyer take from a recovery?
The exact contingency percentage is set out in writing in your fee agreement before the case moves forward, so you know the terms up front. It comes out of the recovery, not your pocket.
