Florida attorney Andrew J. Shamis, who’s developed a cottage industry suing companies over use of unsolicited telemarketing, has set his sites on marijuana companies in Michigan.
Shamis with his Miami-based law firm, Shamis & Gentile, has sued at least three Michigan marijuana companies in federal court this year, including MichiCann Medical, which operates as 420 Dank in Detroit; AEY Capital, which does business as Gage Cannabis and Light ‘N Up Provisioning and Microbuddery in Flint.
Each of the lawsuits allege the companies sent unsolicited marketing text messages or automated calls to phones without proper consent in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, “which has resulted in the invasion of privacy, harassment, aggravation, and disruption of the daily life of thousands of individuals.”
The lawsuits are filed by an individual as class-action lawsuits, meaning anyone who’s received unsolicited text messages or calls may potentially join the lawsuits.
A search of federal court records reveals Shamis regularly sues companies across the nation for similar reasons. They’re not always but are frequently marijuana companies. Several Telephone Consumer Protection Act lawsuits are pending against marijuana companies in Arizona at this time. [Read more at MLive.com]
