Andrew Perrong: The “Robocall Avenger” Who Grew from Teenage Pro Se Litigator to TCPA Attorney


Andrew Perrong: The “Robocall Avenger” Who Grew from Teenage Pro Se Litigator to TCPA Attorney

Andrew Roman Perrong has one of the most unusual paths in the history of TCPA litigation. He began filing lawsuits against telemarketers while still a high school student in 2015, before obtaining a driver’s license, before becoming eligible to vote, and before he could legally purchase cigarettes. Today, at age 29, he is a licensed Pennsylvania attorney operating his own practice, Perrong Law LLC, has filed more than 200 TCPA lawsuits, and has secured class action settlements totaling $9.05 million.

Perrong does not fit the profile of a typical serial litigator. He is not an elderly apartment resident extracting settlements from companies like James Sheldon. He is not a convicted stalker like Anton Ewing. He is not a paralegal filing numerous lawsuits annually like Yazmin Gonzalez. Instead, he is an attorney who built an entire legal career around TCPA litigation, beginning as a teenage pro se plaintiff and eventually becoming a plaintiff-side lawyer representing consumers.

Federal courts, defense firms, and legal commentators have all taken notice of Perrong’s career. One judge characterized his early litigation behavior as “gamesmanship of the lowest order.” Defense-side blogger Eric Troutman, known as “the Czar,” has both criticized Perrong and interviewed him publicly. Perrong now operates his own competing blog, TCPATalk, where he refers to himself as “the Avenger,” creating a direct contrast to Troutman’s TCPAWorld. The available evidence establishes that Andrew Perrong is a legitimate plaintiff-side TCPA attorney with an unconventional background and a controversial reputation.

Andrew Roman Perrong is a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney who operates Perrong Law LLC with a focus on TCPA and consumer protection litigation. Unlike many of the pro se serial litigators discussed elsewhere in this series, Perrong now serves as counsel for other plaintiffs in class actions.

The “Robocall Avenger”: How Perrong Received His Nickname

The Philadelphia Inquirer gave Andrew Perrong the nickname “Robocall Avenger.” The title reflects his self-appointed mission of targeting telemarketers who violate the TCPA and holding them accountable through litigation.

From his law firm website (perronglaw.com):

“Attorney Andrew Perrong started suing telemarketers when he was still a student in high school in 2015. Since that time, he has successfully filed and litigated over two hundred TCPA and other consumer protection cases.”

“Attorney Perrong is particularly proud of his representation in two class action settlements collectively totaling $9.050 million.”

The “Avenger” identity:

Platform
Role
Self-Described Title

Perrong Law LLC
Law firm representing plaintiffs
“Robocall Avenger” (Philadelphia Inquirer)

TCPATalk
Plaintiff-side blog
“the Avenger”

Attorney for consumers
Plaintiff-side advocate

What this demonstrates: Perrong openly embraces the “Avenger” identity. Rather than presenting himself through a completely neutral professional image, he markets himself as a crusader against telemarketing misconduct.

The Pre-Law Years: Teenage Pro Se Litigation (2015-2023)

Before becoming an attorney, Andrew Perrong was already actively litigating TCPA cases as a teenage pro se plaintiff. He began filing lawsuits while still in high school, years before receiving any formal legal education.

Important facts regarding his pre-law litigation:

Fact
Detail

Started filing
2015 (age 18-19, while still in high school)

Volume before law school
Handled dozens of cases pro se

Judicial characterization
One judge referred to him as a “habitual litigant”

Criticism
Another judge described his conduct as “gamesmanship of the lowest order”

The “gamesmanship of the lowest order” ruling:

One federal judge wrote the following about Perrong’s pre-attorney conduct:

“If any misconduct exists, it is Plaintiff’s decision to act with petulance rather than professionalism by ignoring communications from opposing counsel, filing a request for default judgment despite knowing that Defendants intended to answer, and forcing Defendants to ‘rack up billables’ in order to oppose Plaintiff’s Request for Default Judgment. Plaintiff’s behavior is gamesmanship of the lowest order.”

The concern from the defense bar: As TCPAWorld noted in October 2023 when Perrong gained admission to the bar:

“Perrong is a controversial character in TCPAWorld. A repeat TCPA player of the highest order a ‘habitual litigant’ according to one judge who always seems to have claims of suspicious circling around his cases.”

The hope expressed by TCPAWorld:

“Perhaps now that Perrong is licensed to walk among the attorney demi-gods he will turn over a new leaf and protect his ticket to practice law by developing a new professionalism and respect for the legal system. We shall see.”

Perrong currently operates his own legal practice, Perrong Law LLC, located in Glenside, Pennsylvania.

TCPATalk: The Plaintiff-Side Rival to TCPAWorld

Andrew Perrong operates a blog called TCPATalk (tcpatalk.com), which he openly positions as a plaintiff-side counterpart to Eric Troutman’s defense-oriented TCPAWorld.

The rivalry:

Blog
Perspective
Leader
Nickname

TCPAWorld
Defense-side (represents companies)
Eric J. Troutman
“the Czar”

TCPATalk
Plaintiff-side (represents consumers)
Andrew Perrong
“the Avenger”

From the TCPATalk About page:

“Led by ‘the Avenger,’ Attorney Andrew Perrong, our blog channels the Power of P and offers engaging discussions, expert opinions, and a touch of lighthearted rivalry with TCPAWorld, a rival blog led by Eric Troutman, who calls himself ‘the Czar’ of TCPAWorld.”

“While TCPAWorld provides a defense perspective on the TCPA, TCPATalk focuses on advocating for plaintiffs’ rights and promoting a fair and compliant telecommunications environment.”

The “lighthearted rivalry”: Despite operating on opposite sides of TCPA litigation, Perrong and Troutman appear to maintain a professional and even cordial relationship. Perrong has appeared on Troutman’s “Deserve to Win” podcast, and the two have discussed participating together in webinars concerning the future of telemarketing law.

The “Proud Litigators” Circle

Perrong is associated with a network of high-volume TCPA litigators who exchange strategies and information. Defense-side commentators have labeled this network the “Proud Litigators” group, referring to individuals who derive substantial income through TCPA lawsuits.

The primary figures in this network:

Litigator
Primary Tactics
Notable 2026 Status

Mark Dobronski
Focuses on Caller ID violations and Michigan technical claims
Currently defending against a major RICO lawsuit alleging manufactured claims

Brandon Callier
Known for suing law firms and lead generators in Texas
Recently obtained a $27,905 default judgment against Vanguard Alliance Group

James Sheldon
Known for aggressive high-volume settlement demands
Freedom Forever litigation recently transferred to California for discovery

Andrew Perrong
Attorney representing plaintiffs; operates TCPATalk
Licensed Pennsylvania attorney operating Perrong Law LLC

What connects these litigators: All have been described as “serial litigators” or “professional plaintiffs” by defense-oriented publications. All have filed dozens or hundreds of TCPA lawsuits. All have faced criticism from federal judges regarding litigation tactics or gamesmanship.

What separates Perrong from the others: He is the only licensed attorney in the group who now represents other plaintiffs instead of exclusively litigating for himself.

High-Stakes Interactions: Perrong and “The Czar” (Eric Troutman)

One of the most notable events in Andrew Perrong’s recent career was his appearance on the “Deserve to Win” podcast (Episode 19), hosted by Eric J. Troutman, the same defense attorney who operates TCPAWorld and has publicly criticized Perrong.

The interaction:

Topic
TCPA litigation from both plaintiff and defense perspectives

Troutman’s questioning: Troutman questioned Perrong regarding his litigation tactics and the aggressive manner in which he pursues telemarketers.

Perrong’s response: Perrong stated that his lawsuits are intended to stop telemarketers who disregard the law and ignore Do Not Call restrictions.

The relationship: Although they frequently stand on opposite sides of litigation matters, Perrong and Troutman appear to maintain a professional working relationship and occasionally appear together on webinars discussing telemarketing law developments.

From TCPAWorld (October 2023):

“I will get the guy on the podcast the ASAP.”

“Either way, I will get the guy on the podcast the ASAP.”

Public records indicate that Perrong has relocated several times, with addresses connected to Pennsylvania, Delaware, and more recently Oregon.

The Defense-Side Perspective: Criticism and Concerns

Defense-side organizations such as TCPAWorld and the Institute for Legal Reform have continued criticizing Perrong’s early conduct and remain skeptical regarding his professionalism after becoming licensed.

Specific criticisms:

Criticism

“Habitual litigant”
Federal judge (pre-bar)

“Gamesmanship of the lowest order”
Federal judge (pre-bar)

“Act with petulance rather than professionalism”
Federal judge (pre-bar)

“Claims of suspicious circling around his cases”
TCPAWorld

“Overbearing and unpleasant”
Reports to TCPAWorld

The concern: Defense attorneys fear Perrong’s aggressive pre-bar litigation tactics may continue now that he is licensed and capable of representing additional plaintiffs.

The counterpoint: Perrong has achieved $9.05 million in class action settlements that produced recoveries for actual consumers rather than only for himself.

Final Thoughts: From Teenage Pro Se Litigator to Licensed “Avenger”

Andrew Roman Perrong has followed a highly unusual career path. He started filing TCPA lawsuits as a teenager, before he could vote, before he could legally drink alcohol, and before receiving any formal legal education. Along the way, federal judges criticized him using phrases such as “gamesmanship of the lowest order” and “habitual litigant,” while defense-side bloggers labeled him a controversial figure.

Then his career evolved. He attended law school. He passed the bar examination. On October 10, 2023, he officially became a licensed attorney. He now operates his own law firm, has obtained $9.05 million in class action settlements, and manages a plaintiff-side blog where he refers to himself as “the Avenger.”

The ongoing question for defense-side critics is whether Perrong has genuinely matured professionally as a licensed attorney or whether his earlier litigation tactics will continue under the protection of a law license. For plaintiff-side supporters, the question is whether Perrong’s aggressive style will continue expanding consumer access to justice in telemarketing abuse cases.

What remains clear is that Andrew Perrong is a legitimate plaintiff-side TCPA attorney with a highly unusual background and a controversial public reputation. Unlike James Sheldon or Anton Ewing, he is not simply a pro se serial litigator. He is a licensed attorney who intentionally built his practice around TCPA litigation.

The teenager who began suing telemarketers in 2015 is now “the Avenger,” and his litigation career appears to be continuing to expand.
