$78,000,000
Big banks and Fortune 500 companies secretly recorded the owners of California small businesses during unwanted telemarketing calls. For years, millions of these recordings were made, all without any warning to those who picked up the phone.
Our investigation broke it wide open. Our attorneys developed an innovative legal theory that ensured that big banks and major corporations were accountable for their actions. We fought for years to secure a combined $78 million settlement, the largest ever achieved under the California Invasion of Privacy Act. Thanks to this historic, record-setting settlement, California small business owners received payments in the hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Plus, the defendants agreed to stop secretly recording their telemarketing calls.
