TCPA attorney fees, explained in plain English

The most common reason people don’t go after the robocallers harassing them is that they assume a lawyer is expensive. For a TCPA case, it usually isn’t. You pay $0 up front, the review is free, and the attorney only gets paid if you recover.

Short answer

Consumer robocall lawyers like Max Morgan, Esq. work on contingency. You pay nothing up front, and the attorney’s fee comes out of your recovery, not your pocket. If the case recovers nothing, you owe no attorney’s fee. The case review is free, so finding out whether your calls are worth pursuing costs you nothing at all.

How the fees work

  • The case review is free, so finding out costs nothing.
  • You pay $0 up front, with no retainer and no hourly bills.
  • The fee is contingent: a share of what you recover.
  • No recovery, no attorney’s fee. The risk is on the lawyer, not you.

What “contingency” means

People hear “lawyer” and picture an hourly meter running. Consumer TCPA cases don’t work that way. They run on a contingency fee.

Plain English: a contingency fee means the attorney’s payment is contingent on winning. Instead of billing you by the hour, the lawyer takes an agreed percentage of the money recovered. If nothing is recovered, there’s no attorney’s fee to pay.

The lawyer is, in effect, betting on your case. If Max takes your case, he’s putting in the work and carrying the cost on the expectation that it recovers. He does that when he believes the claim is real, which is also why the free review is honest: there’s no upside to signing up a case that goes nowhere.

What you pay up front: nothing

A contingency arrangement removes a few things from your plate:

  • No retainer. You don’t put down a lump sum to get started.
  • No hourly billing. You’re not watching a clock or getting surprise invoices.
  • No fee to get reviewed. The case review is free.

The only thing it costs you to find out whether you have a claim is the few minutes it takes to describe the calls and send over your records.

How the fee comes out at the end

When a case resolves, usually through a settlement, the recovery comes in and the attorney’s agreed percentage is taken from it. You keep the rest. Because the TCPA fixes damages at $500 to $1,500 per illegal call, and the calls stack, even after the contingency fee a persistent campaign can leave real money in your hands. The exact percentage is spelled out in writing in your fee agreement before anything moves forward, so there are no surprises.

Why this model is good for consumers

Contingency exists so that ordinary people can take on companies they could never afford to fight by the hour. It lines up the lawyer’s interest with yours: he only gets paid when you do, so he’s motivated to recover as much as possible. It also means the decision to pursue a robocaller isn’t a financial gamble for you. The downside risk of an unsuccessful case is the attorney’s, not yours.

  • You can afford to take on a corporate defendant.
  • The lawyer is paid for results, not hours.
  • An unsuccessful case doesn’t leave you with a legal bill.

What the free review includes

The free review isn’t a sales call dressed up. The attorney looks at your situation, the calls, the texts, the timeline, and tells you whether there’s a viable TCPA claim and roughly what it could be worth. If there isn’t, he’ll tell you that too. You walk away either with a path forward or with a clear answer, and you’ve paid nothing either way.

TCPA attorney fees: FAQs

Do I really pay nothing up front?

Yes. There’s no retainer and no hourly billing. The review is free, and the attorney’s fee only comes out of a recovery. No recovery, no attorney’s fee.

What percentage does the lawyer take?

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. The point of contingency is that the fee comes out of the recovery, not your pocket.

What if my case doesn’t win?

Then you owe no attorney’s fee. That’s the core of the no-win-no-fee model: the financial risk of an unsuccessful case sits with the attorney, not with you.

Is the free review really free?

Yes. Describing your calls and having Max tell you whether you have a viable case costs nothing and carries no obligation. You either get a path forward or a clear answer, and you pay nothing either way.
