Many TCPA defense attorneys remain unaware of valuable call protection tools like Litigator Scrub. They cannot legally sell off-the-shelf compliance tools designed to perform day-to-day heavy compliance lifting. They are limited to selling advice on the importance of things like Cell Phone Scrubs and DNC List Scrubs. But how to implement these services efficiently - making everyday call compliance chores work so they'll hold up in court. So they'll motivate predatory attorneys to keep on walking - not so much.
Lawyers make more money without it.
Lawyers make money when something goes wrong. That's the sweet spot for call prohibition defense attorneys anyway. The money clock really starts ticking when the client calls about a suit, and the search is on for some rough seam in the prosecutor's case starts. Most likely, it's a serial plaintiff causing the problem. Someone who's sued lots of times. So why were they called in the first place? And how is the attorney unaware?
They don't look outside they're own click.
Are TCPA Defense attorneys too focused in their world of - well- defense? By just not calling former TCPA and DNC litigants will
No cash in Litigator Scrub for attorneys to sell.
A double whammy here. Not only can they not sell Litigator Scrub and make a few bucks on the side. By letting clients know about it, they're further limiting both numbers of clients and potential legal expenditures. American Collection Association's MAP lawyers have quietly watched as clients have consolidated or gone out of business altogether. Their lawyers unresponsive to "thinking outside the box" with products like Litigator Scrub and Ringless Voicemail. (Note: we've seen major players in the collections industry refuse to
Attorneys don't call compliance service providers for advice.
They call fellow association members. Lawyers that attended webinars they didn't. Updates on trial cases. It's a relatively closed world. You'll never hear an attorney say, "Well they were using Litigator Scrub so that cut way down on the number of possible problems."
It's not their fault.
A Ford salesperson will tell you about Ford cars. Getting information on other brands for a good fit is up to you. A TCPA Defense Attorney will make you a custom list of call protections that
What to do?
Use your attorney for general DNC/TCPA advice, all contract paperwork, general guidance on what needs to be covered like DNC policies, scrubbing chores, reassigned number updates. And when something goes wrong - call
So the actual day to day heavy lifting needs to be done by a professional DNC/TCPA Compliance Service Provider. Not your IT guy trying to follow some 30 point compliance list your attorney gave you. With a pro compliance service provider, that's all they do. And they don't make mistakes. Your lawyer will still be making $400 an hour as you attempt to follow his list of required State and Federal call registrations, in house DNC lists, recorded conversation archiving, Cell Phone Scrubbing and Archiving, call record updates to ensure you're calling the person that gave you permission to call - but you may not make it through. American Express couldn't do it, along with hundreds of other major players that tried to do this call protection stuff on their own.
The bottom line: Even if you don't know much about DNC/TCPA compliance, it's just common sense to not reach out to people you know are going to sue you.
