About Bryan
Bryan Thompson is an attorney licensed in Illinois and admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He is based at the Chicago Consumer Law Center, P.C., where he handles litigation and counseling for individuals dealing with consumer-related legal problems. He practices in both state and federal forums and appears on appeal matters in the Seventh Circuit.
Thompson began his career after completing the requirements to practice law in Illinois. Early on he worked on civil litigation matters and gained courtroom experience in motion practice and hearings. Over time he concentrated on consumer disputes, learning how consumer statutes and credit reporting rules play out in everyday cases. He has represented clients in individual lawsuits and in multi-party cases where similar claims affect a number of people.
His work covers a range of consumer law areas. He takes cases involving debt collection defenses, credit reporting disputes and billing disagreements. He also handles litigation that invokes state consumer protection statutes. The matters often involve discovery, contested motions and settlement negotiations. He prepares cases for trial when necessary, and he has handled appeals in the federal courts when issues have required appellate review.
Colleagues say Thompson approaches cases with an emphasis on practical outcomes. He assesses the factual record early, identifies consumer-law issues that may change the course of litigation and frames arguments to press those points before judges. He spends time on pleadings and written advocacy. That preparation is an important part of how he resolves complex consumer claims.
At Chicago Consumer Law Center, P.C., Thompson works with clients who typically seek help against creditors, collection agencies and companies that report or process consumer credit information. He manages client intake and case development, coordinates with experts when necessary, and oversees litigation through resolution. His practice includes both individual representation and cases that affect larger groups of consumers.
Outside of litigation, Thompson spends time keeping current on developments in consumer statutes and court decisions that affect credit reporting and collection practices. He follows changes in federal and state law and adapts litigation strategies when legal standards shift. As of 2026 he continues to represent consumers in matters involving debt collection, credit reporting and related consumer protection claims.
