Telephone Consumer Protection Act

Christopher E. Kittell is one of the few consumer trial attorney in Mississippi experienced in representing victims of robocalls using the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA for short). The TCPA makes it illegal for companies to call your cell phone using an automatic dialer (sometimes called an ATDS or autodialer) without prior express consent. The TCPA also makes it illegal for a company to call any phone number (residential, landline or cell) using a recorded or artificial voice without prior express consent. If you have been a victim of illegal robocalls, contact trial attorney Christopher Kittell at the Kittell Law Firm. You can also learn more about the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Judgments Obtained Without Service of Process

Were you sued but not served with a summons?  The Kittell Law Firm has helped several consumers who have had default judgments entered against them set aside on the grounds of improper service of process.  When someone is sued, the person suing them is required to have the person being sued served with a Summons and a copy of the lawsuit against them. The Kittell Law Firm has assisted several clients who were sued and, without first being served with the lawsuit, had a judgment entered against them for the  amount  they allegedly owed.  Learn more about this type of case here.
