Riley is a member of Bradley’s Banking and Financial Services Practice Group and is also a member of the firm’s Auto Finance and Payments industry teams. Through his broad range of experience, he has advised clients on matters related to unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices (UDAAP), the Credit CARD Act, the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule (TRID), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA), as well as various other federal and state laws.

Riley focuses a substantial portion of his practice on assisting financial institutions as they prepare for and work through CFPB and other federal and state-specific supervisory examinations. This work has included conducting risk assessments, responding to requests for additional information, self-disclosing issues, working with examiners during on-site reviews, challenging examination findings, responding to Proposed Action and Request for Response (PARR) letters and supervisory letters, and, where appropriate, resolving issues through settlement. He has also assisted clients with the development of a comprehensive compliance management system.
