Was only allowed to speak to admin who could not understand a word I said after going in circles for several minutes, the woman said they would not help. Never allowed to speak to an attorney despite a request for consultation. Definitely dont recommend

Mary, I'm sorry we couldn’t assist with your situation. Our team spoke with you twice and did their best to understand your issue, which was outside our practice area. While this may be frustrating, we could not provide the free legal advice you were seeking. Our staff remained professional and respectful as they are trained to do and would have shared a referral to the Illinois Bar Association’s lawyer referral service.

Rob is a lawer who cares and is kind.

Hiring Rob and his team has been one of the best moves I've made towards financial freedom. Rob listened and informed me well on what I needed to do and what his team had to offer. I felt confident that he and his team was ready to help bring forth good change. I'm especially grateful that they kept ...me informed and answered any questions or concerns I had. They helped me settle on 3 different cases in which I was able to benefit greatly. I most definitely recommend not only to hear Rob out but to give him a chance to be of great help. Thanks again Rob and Team!

Private Student Loan Debt

I received several lawsuits from National Collegiate regarding my private student loans here in Chicago. I contacted Chicago Consumer Law Center, P.C. for help. Both Rob and Bryan have been very helpful during this process. They were successful in getting my loan of 10k and my loan of 51k dismissed w...ithout prejudice. The student loan default process is extremely stressful and frustrating and they were able to help reduce my stress and give me some hope that this might be settled and behind me.

Robert Werner was very helpful in my case. He kept me informed throughout the whole process and made sure I received the best deal that was possible.

Credit Card Debt

I met with Rob for a free consultation after receiving literature from Chicago Consumer Law Center. Having received multiple solicitations for attorney services (for a lawsuit that I wasn't even aware of at the time) what I received from CCLC, was very detailed and informative. This made the decisio...n of reaching out to them, verses reaching out to the others, very simple. Rob was professional and extremely personable which made speaking with him very comfortable. I hired them on the spot. Not only did I hire them, but also won my case. I literally did nothing but respond whenever they reached out and before I knew it, I received the news that we had won the case! It was just that easy. This was the first time that I hired an attorney and am more than grateful for the outcome. I have since told others about Rob and his team and the service they provided. I would definitely recommend.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I referred a client that was sued by a debt collector to Rob and Bryan at CCLC. They uncovered violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and my client was able to sue the debt collector that originally sued him. I can strongly recommend CCLC to any of my clients with collection issues."
