Law Firm Claims Phone Companies Are Masking Source Of Anonymous Phone Calls…
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A South Florida law firm is taking legal action to unmask the anonymous individuals behind a wave of recorded “scam” warnings targeting its reputation. Cordoba Legal Group, based in Palm Beach County, filed a lawsuit and a “pure bill of discovery” on January 9, 2026, aimed at forcing major telecommunications companies to hand over identifying data for two individuals listed as “John Doe” defendants. The firm claims these individuals used Google Voice accounts to blast out pre-recorded messages to Florida residents, falsely labeling the law firm as a “debt settlement scam” and urging recipients to call a different number immediately.
The lawsuit specifically targets T-Mobile and AT&T, as the legal group believes these carriers assigned the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses used to access the Google Voice accounts in question. According to court documents, Google provided some account details—including the names “Adele Katrini” and “Griffin A”—but could not provide the specific identity of the people behind the screen. Cordoba Legal Group argues that the carriers possess the billing records and subscriber logs necessary to connect those IP addresses to real names and physical addresses.
At the heart of the case is a specific recording that the firm says has damaged its professional integrity. The message allegedly tells listeners, “Our attorneys have been made aware that you may have been victim to a debt settlement scam. If you recognize the company name Cordoba Legal Group, please call immediately”. The law firm identified at least one local resident who received the call in April 2025 and claims the campaign was designed to mislead the public and cause a loss of business through “defamatory and fabricated” information.
Represented by Berkeley Law, P. A., Cordoba is seeking a jury trial and has already issued subpoenas to the records custodians at T-Mobile and AT&T. The subpoenas demand the release of all subscriber information, billing methods, and usage logs associated with several specific IP addresses by early February. While the carriers themselves are not being accused of defamation, the firm insists it has no other legal recourse to identify and hold the actual originators of the calls accountable for the damage to its reputation.
