About Bradley L.
Bradley L. Schencker earned his law degree from The John Marshall Law School in 2000 after completing a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Arizona in 1996. He finished law school at the turn of the century and then moved into practice in Illinois. His educational path combined a Midwestern legal training with an undergraduate background from the Southwest.
He is admitted to practice in Illinois and before the Federal Circuit. Those admissions allow him to work for clients in state courts and on matters that reach the federal appellate level. Over the years he has handled filings and proceedings that require familiarity with both trial and appellate procedures, and he has represented parties in courtroom and administrative settings.
Schencker operates the Law Office of Bradley L. Schencker. The firm bears his name and handles legal matters on behalf of individuals and entities that bring cases in Illinois or that require attention at the federal appellate level. He manages case strategy and client relationships, prepares briefs and motions, and appears in court when required. Running a law office has required him to balance litigation work with the practical demands of managing a small legal practice.
His practice experience spans decades that began after law school. That period has given him repeated exposure to procedural and substantive issues that arise in state proceedings and in appeals. He has worked on matters that involve contested hearings, motion practice, and appellate briefing. The ability to move a case from a trial setting into an appellate posture is a thread in his professional work, and he has built processes to support those transitions.
Outside the courtroom he maintains professional ties within the Illinois bar and participates in the civic and legal routines that keep a practice connected to local courts and clients. He reviews changes in procedural law and adjusts his practice to reflect evolving appellate rules and filing requirements. This ongoing attention helps when preparing appellate filings for the Federal Circuit and when managing deadlines in state court matters.
He continues to practice from the Law Office of Bradley L. Schencker, representing clients in Illinois matters and handling appeals and related filings before the Federal Circuit as part of his current practice focus.
