In a significant ruling, the Southern District of Florida granted class certification in the case of Shutler v. Citizens Disability. The Court appointed LawHQ as class counsel and noted LawHQ has "extensive experience litigating TCPA class action lawsuits." The lawsuit, filed by Michael Shutler, claims that Citizens Disability violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by making unsolicited prerecorded calls.
Despite the Citizens' challenge to class certification, the court found Shutler satisfied all the requisites of 23(a) and 23(b)(3). Notably, the Court held that common legal issues predominated over individual ones, making a class action the superior method for adjudicating the case. This ruling enables thousands of consumers to seek relief for unwanted telemarketing calls, marking a significant victory for consumer rights and reinforcing LawHQ's role as a leader in TCPA litigation.
