Usually I would gripe about a TCPA settlement resulting in a payment of over $1,600.00 a class member. But in this case I kind of get it.

The Pisa Group has been trapped in a TCPA case since 2018.

That’s seven years of litigation in one case.

According to the amended complaint the defendant called Plaintiff repeatedly for marketing purposes without consent and kept calling after stop requests.

Well Pisa Group did not roll over in the case and fought it for years.

But all good things must come to an end *cough* so it elected to settle the claims of 279 people for nearly half a million dollars.

To be clear– they paid way too much for the class they settled. Then again holding plaintiffs counsel to a recovery of just ~$150k in fees for 7 years of work is pretty savage. Those guys have to be in a six figure hole on this. So nicely done!

Still you have to feel for Pisa Group who undoubtedly spent a half million in fees litigating only to pay another half million on top of that. This is not a large company that is out over a million bucks–and seven years of wasted time–on one TCPA case.

This did end up being a remarkable settlement for the class members– they will recover about $800.00 each! Not a bad recovery for someone who didn’t do anything but walk to the mailbox.

Case is Williams v. Pisa Group, 2025 WL 1410665 (E.D. Pa May 12, 2025).
