Dickson v. LeafFilter North, LLC, Case NO: 2025-005897-CA-01
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about whether LeafFilter North, LLC. (“Defendant”) allegedly made phone calls in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) by making prerecorded telephone calls and calls to persons on the national do-not-call registry, without proper consent. Defendant denies the allegations and any wrongdoing. The Court has not decided who is right.
Settlement Class: All persons in the United States who (i) visited the website https://www.allstarpros.com between June 21, 2023 and October 31, 2023, (ii) submitted a phone number on the website https://www.allstarpros.com, (iii) did not submit a request to receive information relating to gutters, and (iv) received a telephone call from Defendant. The Settlement Class excludes the following: (1) the trial judge presiding over this case; (2) Defendant, as well as any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or control person of Defendant, and the officers, directors, agents, servants, or employees of Defendant; (3) any of the Released Parties; (4) the immediate family of any such person(s); (5) any Settlement Class Member who has timely opted out of this proceeding; and (6) Plaintiff’s Counsel, their employees, and their immediate family.
Defendant shall make available up to $975,000 in cash (the “Settlement Cap”) for payment of Claim Settlement Payments, Notice and Administrative Costs, Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses and any Service Award. Each Settlement Class Member who submits a timely and valid claim form shall be paid a claim of no more than the amount equal to the Settlement Cap divided by the number of individuals on the Class List, less each Settlement Class Member’s pro rata share of the Notice and Administration costs, Attorney’s Fees and Costs and Incentive Award. Defendant need not segregate funds or otherwise create special accounts to hold the Settlement Cap and will not relinquish control of any money until payments are due as set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The parties agree that undistributed funds—that is, funds not used to pay the Claim Settlement Payments, Notice and Administrative Costs, Service Award, and Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses—and uncashed checks will remain with Defendant.
To get a payment, you must submit a valid Claim Form. You may do this by signing and returning the Claim Form that is attached to the Notice that was mailed to you or by submitting the Claim Form electronically on this website under the “File a Claim" tab by using the Claim ID No. on the front of the Notice you received and a phone number appearing on the Class List.
You can also download a Claim Form on this website under the Notice and Claim Form tab or call the Settlement Administrator at the toll-free number below to request a Claim Form.
To be valid, a Claim Form must be completed fully and accurately, signed, and be submitted timely.
If you send in a Claim Form by regular mail, it must be postmarked on or before 08/20/2025. The deadline to file a Claim online is 11:59 pm. EST on 08/20/2025. Only one Claim Form may be submitted per Settlement Class Member, regardless of how many calls were received by the Settlement Class Member.
If you do not want benefits from the Settlement, and you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue Defendant on your own about the legal issues in this case, then you must take steps to get out of the Settlement. This is called excluding yourself—or it is sometimes referred to as “opting out” of the Settlement Class.

Gutter TCPA Settlement Administrator
c/o RG/2 Claims Administration LLC
P.O. Box 59479

The Request for Exclusion must: (a) identify the case name; (b) identify the name, address, and telephone number of the Settlement Class Member; (c) identify the telephone number that received the call(s) at issue; (d) be personally signed by the Settlement Class Member requesting exclusion; and (e) contain a statement that indicates a desire to be excluded from the Settlement Class in the Action, such as: “I request that I be excluded from the proposed Settlement Class.”.
You cannot ask to be excluded on the phone, by email, or on this Settlement Website. No mass or class opt outs are permitted.
