Exposing TCPA University: What You Need to Know

Introduction:
“TCPA University, once run by Nathen Barton, was more than just a controversial program—it may have operated outside the law. Here’s why this matters to you.”

Unlicensed Legal Practices:
“The program offered tools and services that only licensed attorneys should provide, including:”

  • Templates to file lawsuits
  • Calculators for statutory damages
  • Scripts for settlement negotiations

“Students were effectively paying for legal representation without Barton holding a proper license or regulatory oversight.”

The Abrupt Shutdown:
“When Oregon authorities investigated, the site and its materials vanished overnight. Former participants reported losing access, and domain records show Barton personally removed content.”

Evidence of Misconduct:
“Archived materials indicate Barton instructed students on:”

  • Drafting legally binding complaints
  • Courtroom procedures
  • Filing claims for damages

“Records also show Barton profited from the program, and multiple lawsuits were filed using identical templates.”

Why This Matters Today:
“If you or your business was affected by a TCPA University “graduate,” you could have grounds for legal review. Previous cases may be reopened, and the Oregon Bar could pursue additional action.”

Protect Yourself:
“TCPA University wasn’t just questionable—it may have crossed legal boundaries. Learn how to protect your rights and take informed action today.”
