Getting spam texts? Federal law provides $500 to $1,500 per unlawful message.
Federal law makes most unsolicited marketing texts and robocalls illegal. If a company texted you without your consent, or kept texting after you replied STOP, our attorneys want to hear from you.
You pay nothing out of pocket. If we recover, our fee and case costs are paid from the recovery or by the defendant. Recovery is not guaranteed; every case depends on its facts.
Do you qualify for a spam text lawsuit?
We are actively investigating companies that send unsolicited marketing text messages and robocalls. You may have a claim if any of the following apply to you.
They kept texting after you said STOP
You replied STOP, unsubscribe, or opt out, and the marketing texts kept coming. Each message after your opt-out can be a separate violation.
You're on the Do Not Call Registry
Your number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days, and you still received two or more marketing texts or calls from the same company within 12 months.
You never gave consent
A business you never signed up with sent you promotional texts, prerecorded voicemails, or autodialed calls without your prior express written consent.
How a spam text case works
You don't pay anything out of pocket, and most clients spend less than an hour on their case from start to finish.
Submit your texts
Fill out our short form and upload screenshots of the messages. Include the sender's number and the dates if you can. That's usually all we need to start.
We investigate for free
Our attorneys identify the company behind the texts, review consent records, and determine whether the TCPA, the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, or other state laws were violated.
We pursue your compensation
If the law was broken, we pursue the statutory damages you're owed, up to $1,500 per message, through settlement or litigation. We only get paid if you recover.

The laws that make spam texts expensive for companies
Two powerful consumer protection statutes let you recover money directly from companies that blast your phone without permission.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
Passed by Congress in 1991 and strengthened by the FCC, the TCPA restricts telemarketing calls, autodialed and prerecorded calls, and unsolicited marketing text messages.
- $500 per violation, and up to $1,500 per violation when the company acted willfully or knowingly
- Applies to texts sent without your prior express written consent
- Protects numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry
- Requires companies to honor STOP and opt-out requests
Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (FTSA)
Florida's own mini-TCPA gives Florida residents an additional layer of protection against automated sales texts and calls, with its own statutory damages.
- Statutory damages of $500 per violation, up to $1,500 for willful violations
- Covers automated marketing texts sent without prior express written consent
- Other states, including Washington and Oklahoma, have similar laws our attorneys can pursue

Three things to do right now
A few simple habits turn spam texts from an annoyance into well-documented evidence.
Screenshot everything
Save screenshots of each text, including the sender's phone number, the date, and the time. Don't delete the message thread, it's the backbone of your claim.
Reply STOP once
Reply STOP to legitimate marketing texts. If messages continue after that, each one can be an additional violation. If you don't recognize the sender at all, don't reply or click links, it may be a scam.

Spam text lawsuit FAQ
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from people dealing with unwanted texts and robocalls.
How much money can I get for spam text messages?
The TCPA provides statutory damages of $500 per violation, and up to $1,500 per violation if the company acted willfully or knowingly. Because each unlawful text or call can count as a separate violation, damages add up quickly for repeat offenders. Florida residents may also recover under the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act.
Does it cost anything to hire Dapeer Law for a spam text case?
The case review is free and confidential, and we handle spam text cases on a contingency basis. You pay nothing out of pocket; if we recover, our fee and case costs are paid from the recovery or by the defendant.
What counts as an illegal spam text under the TCPA?
Common violations include marketing texts sent without your prior express written consent, texts that continue after you reply STOP, and telemarketing texts or calls to a number that has been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 31 days. Prerecorded voicemails and autodialed calls can also violate the law.
What evidence do I need for a spam text lawsuit?
Screenshots of the text messages are the most important evidence. Try to capture the sender's phone number, the message content, and the date and time. If you replied STOP, keep that in the screenshot too. Keep the original messages on your phone, don't delete the thread.
I replied STOP but the texts keep coming. Is that illegal?
Very likely, yes. Companies are required to honor opt-out requests. Once you reply STOP or otherwise revoke consent, each additional marketing text can be a separate violation worth $500 to $1,500. Save every message that arrives after your opt-out.
Do I have to join a class action, or can I have my own case?
It depends on the facts. Some spam text cases proceed as class actions on behalf of everyone who received the same unlawful messages, while others make sense as individual claims. Our attorneys will recommend the path that maximizes your recovery after reviewing your messages.
What if I don't recognize the company texting me?
Submit the screenshots anyway. Identifying the business behind spam texts is a core part of our investigation, and we have tools to trace senders. One caution: if a message looks like a scam, don't reply or click any links, just screenshot it and send it to us.
How long do I have to file a TCPA claim?
TCPA claims are generally subject to a four-year statute of limitations, though state law claims can have different deadlines. The sooner you contact us, the more of your messages fall within the window, so don't wait.
Your phone. Your privacy. Your rights.
Companies count on you deleting spam texts and moving on. Take two minutes, send us your screenshots, and find out whether you have a claim.
