SLG Wins Dismissal of TCPA Class Action

January 7, 2020 by in Litigation

In a righteous victory for SLG client, AutoRemind, Inc., a New York City-based pioneer in patient messaging and reminder software, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia dismissed all claims and rejected the Plaintiff’s plea for early discovery in a potentially devastating Class Action brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq.
