Rob Wiley, P.C. - Dallas, Texas June 12, 2026 I would give zero stars if that were an option. I contacted this firm during one of the most difficult periods of my life. After losing my job, my income was cut exactly in half. I was struggling to pay my bills, facing bankruptcy, and doing everything I could to support my family. At the time I reached out, I was seeking legal guidance regarding what I believe were serious employment-related issues. I explained that there were already two EEOC matters under investigation, an FMLA-related matter under review, and that I had reached out to the offices of Congressman Keith Self and Congresswoman Stephanie Bice regarding my concerns. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was hoping to find legal guidance and someone willing to listen to the circumstances I was facing. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and discouraged. The interactions felt cold and transactional rather than understanding or supportive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Being asked to pay $250 for a consultation felt unreasonable given my circumstances. I explained that I was financially devastated, struggling to feed my family, unable to afford all of my bills, and having difficulty paying for both my diabetic medications and mental health care because my income had been cut exactly in half. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What frustrated me most is that this was not a one-time interaction. Every time I contacted the firm, I came away with the same impression. Rather than feeling heard or understood, I felt brushed aside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My family ultimately needed public assistance, and I was forced to file bankruptcy. No one is obligated to take a case, but treating people with compassion costs nothing. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. What disappointed me most is the contrast between the firm's reputation and how I felt I was treated. The firm has accumulated impressive accolades, including Best Lawyers, Best Law Firms, Super Lawyers, a 10.0 Avvo rating, and Board Certification in Labor and Employment Law. Those achievements may be impressive on paper, but awards mean very little to someone struggling to feed their family and seeking help during one of the most difficult periods of their life. This has unfortunately been a recurring theme with many of the attorneys I've contacted. Because of that, I've started reaching out to firms outside of Texas in hopes of finding someone willing to listen before discussing the price tag. At this point, my faith in attorneys has been seriously shaken. I've spent countless hours gathering documents, records, exhibits, correspondence, recordings, and supporting evidence. Because of the volume of evidence I've assembled, I'm increasingly considering representing myself rather than continuing to search for someone willing to hear me out. I walked in believing in truth, justice, and the American way. I walked out feeling like greed had won the day. For additional context, I have written publicly on Medium, including "Disabled Father of Two Under Two" and "Next Enron." Others may have different experiences, but based on mine, I would not return to this firm. read more

Absolutely unprofessional and misleading experience. I paid $250 for a consultation that was represented to be with Mr. Rob Wiley himself, that was confirmed multiple times by Clara Mann, the firm's intake coordinator. Only after paying and preparing all of my materials did I discover that I was instead being handed off to another attorney named Cassidy, who was clearly unprepared, disengaged, and unfamiliar with my intake information. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cassidy interrupted me repeatedly, displayed very little understanding of my case, and within minutes told me representation would require a $10,000 retainer completely out of context for what was supposed to be a paid consultation to review the merits of my claim.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The entire conversation felt perfunctory and dismissive, as if the goal was to upsell or rush me off the phone, not to genuinely assess my situation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I called the office afterward to clarify what had happened, Clara Mann abruptly hung up on me: no apology, no explanation, nothing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Later she told me that if I wanted to speak directly with Mr. Wiley, I would need to pay another $250. That is beyond unprofessional. It is unethical and exploitative, especially after the firm's own employee confirmed multiple times that my initial payment covered a meeting with him. To make matters worse, she then directed me to complete a "survey" to request a refund. A survey is not a refund process, and it does nothing to correct the misrepresentation or disrespect I experienced. A reputable employment law firm should value honesty, transparency, and basic professionalism especially when dealing with people who are already in vulnerable legal situations. This office failed on all counts. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lack of communication, false representation, and total disregard for client trust were shocking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If this is how Rob Wiley P.C. treats prospective clients, I can only imagine how they handle actual cases. I would strongly urge anyone considering this firm to look elsewhere. There are many ethical, responsive, and competent employment attorneys in Texas -- this one is not among them. Save your time, money, and peace of mind. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Agreed with the rude/money motivated part... inquired about a consultation... when they gave the fee I told them I was under the impression you didn't pay unless you won... the girl said oh okay thank you you and hung up in my face.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I get that you may have that policy but kindly explaining is good customer service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Prior to booking my consultation, I verified their fee structure twice with their scheduling coordinator. After confirming the contingent fee percentage, I paid my consultation fee, and an appointment was scheduled for me to speak with one of the attorneys. During my interview the attorney was extremely personably and knowledgeable; however, I was taken aback when he quoted me the contingency fee PLUS a sizable non-refundable flat fee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Later when I asked the scheduling coordinator about it her response was that the attorneys had the option of charging an hourly rate, flat fee, a contingency or a hybrid.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had this been known to me prior to scheduling, I most likely would not have scheduled the consultation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With the flat fee, the contingency fee and expenses, the amount due to Rob Wiley PC would have been closer to 50% (in my instance). [[HIGHLIGHT]]I understand trying to manage your risk, but I do think the scheduling coordinator should have been upfront about it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Disappointing Experience with Austin Campbell @ Rob Wiley, P.C. Law Firm. I recently had the unfortunate experience of engaging with the Rob Wiley P.C. Law Firm in pursuit of resolving a discrimination and retaliation case against a government entity from which I was wrongfully terminated. Regrettably, my encounter with the firm left much to be desired, prompting me to share my opinions and personal experiences here. Despite an initial investment of a $7,000 retainer for efforts to obtain private mediation with Respondent, my interactions with the firm (over a 5 month-ish period) were marked by minimal engagement and a lack of communication. I initially presented my case to their partner attorney, Deontae Wherry. He was engaged and I could sense empathy in the dialogue I had with him. Unfortunately, after signing the contract, the handling of my case by Austin Campbell, to whom I was predominantly delegated, raised significant concerns about the firm's commitment to prioritizing and understanding the complexities of my situation. Communication breakdowns were evident at the beginning of the case interview process. I spoke for about 90 minutes with Austin to provide my case timeline and answer his questions. Unfortunately, I never felt I was being heard. Attempts to share my perspective were repeatedly cut off in order to fill out what I believed was a form template (very junior). I raised these communications concerns with Deontae & a meeting was called. The firm verbally addressed my concerns, but the promises made during a group meeting with the partner attorney yielded no tangible improvements. I was relegated to the back seat while the process was supposed to be moving forward. At the conclusion of my engagement with the firm, I reviewed Austin's activity statement. It appeared to me that logical actions, such as a reach-out phone call to Respondent's attorney's office, and communication with the EEOC was also minimal. When the Respondent provided a position statement, I was only briefed on high-level positions the Respondent took, without seeing the actual pretext response document. The revelation of false statements and omitted key facts in the Respondent's position statement, obtained through a FOIA request after the firm terminated my contract, was deeply troubling. Had I been informed of the entirety of the Respondent's position, I could have provided crucial documents & complete evidence for consideration, potentially altering the course of my case. The construction of a weak lawsuit covering only 2/3 of my charges, coupled with the lack of proactive communication, underscored the firm's apparent disregard for the complexity of my case. It seems that, in their pursuit of lucrative cases, the firm neglects those with less monetary potential. The frustration stemming from irregular updates, inconvenient timing of calls, and the necessity to navigate a call center to reach Austin right after he called me, reflects a systemic issue in client prioritization. It appears that the firm is content with collecting retainers and undertaking minimal efforts, particularly for cases deemed of low priority. Overall, my personal experience with Austin and the Rob Wiley P.C. Law Firm has left me thoroughly disappointed. This opinion of disappointment is rooted in what I perceived to be a lack of effort, unwillingness to comprehend the intricacies of my case, and the absence of value for the retainer fee lead me to advise against choosing this firm. Furthermore, I don't feel Austin fully explored all legal avenues & challenged the Respondent as much as a lawyer would have if they had the best interests of their clients in mind. Clients like us are looking for that voice to be heard and represented. The cases matter to us. Save your money and seek legal representation elsewhere. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Run Away! I wish i saw the previous reviews before i jumped in desperate for help.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Im requesting a $500 refund for a lack of a competent attorney that I trusts by providing vulnerable information to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I contacted them after via email twice, with my documented complaint they replied with 2 different typed emails informing me to contact them via phone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] horrible service and ethics. I've printed out my complaints and I'm going to serve it to them today. read more

Don't bother reaching out to this law firm. I paid for the consultation and was told I get one follow up call, via Deontae D. Wherry. I asked, if I call and it's urgent, when should I expect a reply, he said usually within that day. I called on three different dates expressing the urgent nature of my follow up call with Deontae starting on 9/28/2023. Today's review is posted on 10/13/2023. I have yet to hear back from anybody at this firm. Thanks for taking my money during the consultation and not following up. How could anybody trust you? I have the audio recording if anybody wants verification. read more

This company is a Bait and Switch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Receptionists are like sales robots. Detached from the client and dedicated to collect the consult fee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did pay as I was referred by the State Bar and their company website clearly stated they were qualified to handle all my issues. Paid $250 for a 45min consult. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Filled out an intake form PRIOR to the consult which I documented my specific issues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once I got on the phone with the attorney within 25 minutes it was clear to both of us, he could not help me. We concluded together he was only looking for one issue, which I did not document on the intake form. Clearly the only issue he was looking for would have had the greatest compensation for their firm. ZERO refund was given. This consult and payment should have never happened. read more

Late update, but update regardless: I respect that you get a lot of calls, but I found your receptionist rather rude and I felt could have done better at screening your cases, by simply asking a few questions, spending a few minutes to ask your lawyers and getting back to me. Instead I was immediately shut down and asked to pay. My review was based off of my experience with your office, regardless of if I hired you or not. Doesn't change the fact that friends of employees were giving your office 5 star reviews. The case in question settled for almost 30k after only 7 hours of attorney/staff work. Your loss, my gain, and was happy with the other office and their customer service skills. Maybe you and your staff should be nicer to people and you'll make more money? read more

My attorney's name with Rob Wiley, P.C. was Rachel Bethel. Rachel is the attorney that will restore your trust and faith back into the profession. I say this, not only because of her experience, knowledge, integrity and skillful methods, but also because she truly and sincerely cares about her clients. She cared about me. And she showed this in her words and her actions. I am happy my ordeal is completed to my satisfaction, however, if I ever need an attorney again, I hope to have the good fortune to find one exactly like Rachel. read more

Deontae Wherry is a superb attorney with excellent listening skills and knowledge of the law. Very hard working and takes his time collecting all of the facts. I can not say enough kind words about this guy! If you are looking for a quality attorney look no further. He will get the best results and I am happy that I hired him. He has a bright future in law and in life. I am thankful for his diligence. Gold medal winner!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Deontae Wherry. We began at the start of COVID making things a little difficult like everything else going on with the world at the time. However, Mr. Wherry was extremely forthcoming throughout the entire process including explaining my advantages and disadvantages. He made sure to ask what my expectations were and whether or not my expectations were feasible. He also displayed qualities of being kind, genuine and fair. Although I do pray that my family and friends aren't in situations that would require Mr. Wherry, I would certainly recommend him if they do. read more

Stay away! They will rip you off so hard. They didn't not know, understand, or even research the pertinent laws that applied to my case. I paid nearly $8,000 for a case they told me several times had merit. They told me the state entity I was suing had violated the ADA, CARES Act, and FMLA laws. After a year and a half, the state entity I was suing pointed out to these attorneys that the state entity was actually immune to my exact type of law suite. The other party filed one court response pointing out a constitutional law (amendment 11) that simply disqualified my case, which was promptly dismissed by the judge. I can't believe these attorneys (Rob and Austin) didn't even know or research the basic laws in the United States Constitution as they pertained to my case. They also have refused to repay any refund for their errors even though they should have known at the initial consultation that my case would fail and had no merit. They just lead me on to believe I had a meritorious case so they could generate work for themselves and take my money. read more

Ms. Zibari at Rob Wiley, PC is a very knowledgeable and competent attorney. She has experience beyond her years. She would always tell me what to expect and prepared me for the process as my case moved forward. She listened to my concerns and answered them appropriately. She almost made the process easy when I know it wasn't. She did the best she could for my case and there was nothing she could do to change the outcome. I am extremely satisfied with her professionalism and ethics in conducting my case. I could not ask for a better lawyer to represent my case. I am extremely glad she was my attorney. read more

Mr. Deontae Wherry is a PHENOMENAL attorney. He truly cares about his clients and does everything he can to fight for you. He is honest and thorough. If you are looking for an employment attorney who will truly care about your case and will fight for you, Deontae is THAT attorney. He does excellent work. I HIGHLY recommend him. read more

I called and Lisa with an rude attitude did not even entertain my question to her about what if the lawyer can not even handle my case? With a rude voice she replied "well you will be just be out the $200 plus dollars to just talk to a Lawyer." read more

Deontae is absolutely amazing! He takes the time to review all the details and works with you to find the best and most sustainable solution. Additionally , he also follows up at all times and closed the loop! Kudos to Deontae , Rob and the entire team for providing great services to the Dallas community! read more

My attorneys were extraordinarily professional and efficient, carefully listening as we crafted my case. I was delighted with how effective the firm operated and the timeline for my sensible conclusion. read more

I was very skeptical about presenting my case to an attorney due to bad experiences with attorneys in my past. I was referred to Rob Wiley's firm by a friend who expressed having a great experience with the firm and encouraged me to reach out to the firm. I'm truly happy I did. My case was handled by Austin Campbell who was very professional, informative and timely. He laid out the timeline for me and explained thoroughly the expectations of me, the firm and the company I was filing a claim against. His communication was amazing and always timely. I would recommend this firm to anyone with employment issues, you wont be disappointed!!! Rhonda B. read more

Fadi handled my case with a firm & professional demeanor from the first review of the facts to the conclusion in mediation. Laid out the process and provided guidelines to remain calm and not letting emotions get in the way. If you have a employment concern, Fadi is a must consultation. read more

Deontae Wherry, thank you for representing me in my employment disputes and helping me win settlements on both cases. Deontae you have done an outstanding job throughout cases...kept me informed of case updates, reviewed documents, wrote documents, and stood up for me. Thank you for listening, thank you for being relatable, and for legal help. read more

Just a quick review regarding Rob Wiley and friends. This law office took my case regarding violation of civil rights with the end result being in my favor. Evan Lang was assigned to my claim, I couldn't have been more pleased; smart guy with a great sense of humor but sh** got real when the real bad guys reared their ugly heads. Without reservation, I recommend this group because of the excellent work that saw me until the end, the end where I prevailed. read more

I called to ask about attorney fees before I booked an expensive consultation and the only answer I was given by the receptionist was that "it depends." I understand that fees depend on the case, but the person on the phone could not tell me if they charged hourly or what the average fees are. read more

They are ONLY about money. Thieves stay away!. They don't care at all abs just want to get your money. And very insensitive and rude.

I met with Deontae Wherry regarding a severance agreement and an employment contract. He was very knowledgeable and gave me excellent advice. I immediately felt comfortable because he showed a genuine concern for my situation. He took the necessary time to ensure I had all options covered so I could make an informed decision. He is an expert in his field and it shows! I am so glad he was recommended to me and I would recommend him in an instant! read more

You may have to retain a lawyer to get back any money from this lawyer. I was told that they could not represent me and would be refunded my retainer in 10 business days. 2 months later I'm still back and forth with their office seemingly fighting a major case of indifference about getting my funds returned. I was sent a generic return receipt and was told that tracking it down was my problem now. Told office management would contact me, which never happened. Got nothing but frustration for my money. read more

Deontae was an excellent attorney on my case, frequently communicated with not only me but opposing counsel. Patiently answered all my questions and prepared me for my case. Would highly recommend him. read more

Fadi Yousef is one of the best attorneys I have ever used in my life! He is a consummate professional, thoroughly reviews your case, makes you a 'partner' so you can make informed decisions, and will go the extra mile to carry out your best interest and wishes. I was also very impressed with his professionalism in 'pushing back' on me in order to acheive my maximum opportunities. I have also known Rob Wiley for years... he is an excellent attorney too and goes the extra mile!!! If you're lucky enough for them to take your case you're in great hands! read more

Most definitely recommend Austin Campbell for any of your employment needs! He helped me with my unemployment appeal and was very helpful and informative! We came out with a win and would definitely want him on my team again if needed!! Thank you Austin Campbell read more

I scheduled an original consultation to discuss issues that I had with my former employer. Mr. Eric Dama was honest and up-front with his thoughts on my situation and if he considered it worth pursuing. He was willing to answer any questions that I had and helped define the options that I could pursue if desired. After I decided to seek resolution of my employment issues, Mr. Fadi Yousef contacted me as he had been assigned as my attorney of record. Mr. Yousef was very professional, timely and worked on my behalf to meet the expectations that I had. When he thought a different approach was warranted, he was very proactive. He returned my telephone calls and emails by end of business the same day. I appreciate the efforts Mr. Yousef made on my behalf and would recommend this firm (and Mr. Yousef) to address your questions and concerns. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Deontae Wherry and he was extremely professional, timely, and supportive during the process. He took the time to make sure I was well informed, all while advocating for me to the full extent. Couldn't have hoped for better representation. Thank you!! read more

I would recommend the Law Office of Rob WIley, P.C. to anybody needing assistance with employment rights. They did an incredible job of handling my case professionally and in a very resonable time frame. In my initial consultation with Rob Wiley I was given a very straight forward analysis of my claims after which Fadi Yousef was the attorney assigned to my case. Working with Fadi was the best. He showed care and a true concern for the direction and result of my lawsuit. Fadi was always available and was in constant communication with me throughout. I thank Fadi Yousef, Rob Wiley and his team for doing a phenomenal job, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. read more

I hired Rob Wiley Employment Lawyers because they had awesome reviews. They sure fight for the employees against unfair employers. Deontae Wherry was my attorney, a honest and ethical one, which was a pleasant surprise. He is very professional, knowledgably, patient and understanding. He got the most money possible from my ex-employer, more than what is settled in this types of cases. Deontae replies fast to your concerns and keeps you updated on your case. I definitely will recommend him to the people I know and not know with my review. read more

Although Mr. Wiley is knowledgeable regarding complex details of the law, in my case I felt there wasn't adequate support provided. He'd prior to the case beginning stated I had a very good case to go forward, he ended up delivering way short of his promise. First mistake was sending me to one lawyer, who ended up moving, another lawyer, who ended up leaving, and finally to a third lawyer who still got nothing accomplished, all while Mr. Wiley was 100% aware of me being jerked around due to issues out of my control; that's correct, wasting over 9 months going to 3 different lawyers, and nothing good coming out of it. In fact in my meetings with him he was so confident my case would get a reasonable monetary settlement, he didn't even bother looking at additional evidence, which I specifically offered knowing he might need for a stronger case. Of course the confidence only laid in the fact that he'd previously made settlements with the employer according to his own word, but when time came to bargain i.e. use skills in law school to negotiate, he wasn't able to deliver in what I'd call 'epic fail' and instead I get a call from his junior lawyer (the 3rd one mind you) that he couldn't settle the case. So there goes the $3,000 retainer fee for bringing no help, after assuring a settlement of high 5 figures / 6 figures would be highly likely. Over promise, under deliver, that's the motto and you'd be wise to avoid the firm. read more

I was terminated from my employer with little evidence. While it took 8 months of back and forth with my former employer my Rob Wiley lawyer Fadi Yousef was able to push my company to release emails which provided evidence allowing for a settlement. I highly recommend Rob Wiley read more

Deontae Wherry is the best attorney I've ever had! He works tirelessly to bring justice. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

I worked with Rob Wiley, PC and specifically Deonte Wherry for two years on a case. They were professional, responsive and a joy to work with. They resolved my case in an intelligent manner and guided me through the process in a way that assuaged my fears and nerves. I would recommend them to anyone with employment issues that need resolution. read more

The Rob Wiley staff was very professional to work with. Quick to find answers to my questions and return my calls. After describing my unemployment issue, they directed me to Fadi Yousef, a very professional, patient, honest lawyer. I had an unemployment issue that went to appeal. During my initial consultation with Fadi, he was very patient with me as I described the issue. He has an excellent handle on the unemployment process. He felt I had a strong enough case that I may not need representation. I so appreciated that honesty. I felt more comfortable hiring him for the appeal hearing. Prior to the hearing he talked me through how it worked and reviewed possible questions. During the hearing, Fadi steered me to some points that needed to be brought to attention and entered a prior case that backed up mine into evidence. All of this, I feel, helped me win my case. The whole process was easy and the experience wonderful ending with a positive outcome in my case. I also felt the price I paid was very reasonable. You'll be well satisfied with Fadi by your side in a court of law when you only have one opportunity with a judge. read more

Deontae D. Wherry, was a delight to work with. From the start, I knew I was working with a very efficient Firm that focused on the needs of their clients. I always received an immediate response to my emails/phone calls. It was a great feeling to know someone would fight for me while I was up against a large organization. Once Deontae started fighting for me the process went smooth and quickly. He called me to keep me updated on every situation. Deontae is an outstanding lawyer and he will take care of you and put your mind at ease. I immediately hired Mr. Wherry, without hesitation because of his business style approach to my case, and I highly recommend his services. read more

Austin Campbell was amazing! He answered the millions of questions I had and never seemed to be aggravated with me. I felt comfortable discussing anything with him. They made the experience as great as it could be under the circumstances. read more
