After eight years of litigation, Wites & Rogers, located in Lighthouse Point, Florida, successfully resolved a complex class action lawsuit that resulted in $300,000 in charitable contributions.
The lawsuit began in Broward County Circuit Court and moved through several courts, including:
-
The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida
-
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
-
The Florida Supreme Court
The matter ultimately returned to Broward Circuit Court, where the settlement received final approval.
Marc Wites, whose argument before The Florida Supreme Court is available on the firm’s website, played a key role in the litigation. Wites & Rogers worked on the case with Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, a nationally recognized class action law firm.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) Violations
The case was based on violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) involving the transmission of unsolicited facsimile advertisements.
As part of the resolution, the settlement included:
-
$100,000 charitable contribution to the American Cancer Society
-
$100,000 charitable contribution to the American Heart Association

$100,000 charitable contribution to the Alzheimer’s Association
