About Brooke Swier
Brooke Swier Schloss built a layered academic foundation before entering the law. She earned a B.A. in criminal justice and psychology from Mount Marty College, completed an Ed.S. in school psychology at the University of South Dakota, and then studied law at the University of South Dakota School of Law. Those degrees gave her training in human behavior, institutional settings and legal analysis.
Schloss went on to practice in South Dakota. She is admitted to the South Dakota bar and began work at Swier Law Office, Prof. LLC as an associate in 2010. That early move placed her in a small firm setting where matters often require attention to both procedural detail and client circumstances.
Her time at the firm has spanned courtroom filings, client consultations and collaborative problem solving. As an associate, she took on responsibilities that included research, drafting pleadings and meeting with clients. Colleagues and clients have likewise relied on her to explain legal options clearly and to prepare case materials for hearings and negotiations.
Her academic background shapes how she approaches cases. The combination of criminal justice and psychology training gives her a perspective on conduct, assessment and institutional responses. The school psychology degree adds context for matters that touch on education systems, students and family dynamics. She draws on that context when assessing evidence, communicating with nonlegal professionals and working through complicated factual situations.
Outside of casework, Schloss has maintained professional ties in the state. She has continued to practice with Swier Law Office while keeping connections to local legal and community organizations. Her work has required routine interaction with courts, administrative panels and school officials, and she has developed a practice rhythm suited to those forums.
Today she continues to practice law through Swier Law Office, Prof. LLC in South Dakota. Her legal work remains informed by her training in criminal justice, psychology and school psychology and by years spent handling matters on behalf of clients in the state.
