About Brad C.
Brad C. Schweiger is a Wisconsin- and Illinois-licensed attorney who works at Richter & Phillips, LLP. He earned his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School in 2005 after completing a B.S. in Psychology and Legal Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater in 2001. Those academic credentials set the stage for a practice that spans courtroom work and dispute resolution.
Schweiger's path through law school and into practice was steady. The Law School diploma from 2005 marks the formal start, but his undergraduate studies in psychology and legal studies point toward an interest in how people and the law interact. That background informs how he evaluates family matters and how he prepares clients for settlement talks or trial.
He is licensed to practice in both Wisconsin and Illinois. Schweiger has associations in several bar groups: he is a member of the Illinois Bar Association since 2008, the State Bar of Wisconsin since 2012, and the Dane County Bar Association since 2016. In 2021 he became a partner at Richter & Phillips, LLP, where he continues to handle matters that arise on both sides of the state line.
Beyond courtroom work, Schweiger has formal training in mediation. He holds a Family and Divorce Mediator certification from DePaul University, a credential that allows him to serve clients who prefer negotiated settlements over litigation. That training, paired with his bar memberships and years of practice, positions him to operate in traditional adversarial settings and in mediated environments where parties seek a negotiated outcome.
His practice centers on family law and divorce matters, covering negotiation, mediation, and litigation when necessary. He balances case preparation for trial with efforts to resolve disputes through alternative dispute resolution. At Richter & Phillips, LLP he handles custody, support, property division, and related family law issues for clients in both Wisconsin and Illinois. He currently practices family law and mediation at Richter & Phillips, LLP.
