| Better Tax Relief LLCsource ↗ filed by Law Office of Courtney Weiner PLLC · Judge Mark Steven Davis · No. 2:26-cv-01212 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M ▾TCPA robocall claims split in comparables: League of Women Voters survived MTD on robocall allegations, while Howard, Perrong, and Hulce were dismissed/affirmed for defendants on narrow statutory grounds. No comparable involves a small tax-relief marketer, limiting direct applicability. Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10 Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4) Comparable verdict: Dish Network, LLC $61M · ccAdvertising and Dr $32.42M Key precedent: League of Women Voters v. Kramer (D.N.H.) — robocall TCPA claim survived MTD on concrete-injury grounds, most factually analogous to automated solicitation calls here. Main risk: Hulce v. Zipongo shows calls framed as non-solicitation/informational can defeat TCPA claims entirely if Better Tax Relief argues similar framing This defendant: Two prior TCPA filings (Matthews, Lawler) against same defendant suggest a recurring robocall practice, raising repeat-offender exposure. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $12K–$900K Small sample of rulings with divergent fact patterns; no direct company-size or call-volume data, so class size and value are rough order-of-magnitude estimates. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 3 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | E.D.
