About David J.
David J. Schultz took an unusual path into the law. He earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh in 1967 and later returned to school to obtain his Juris Doctor from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1979. Those credentials bookend a span of years that preceded his long career in practice.
After receiving his J.D., Schultz began practicing law in Wisconsin. Over the decades he has maintained an active bar presence in the state and secured admissions that allow him to appear in federal appellate court and at the nation's highest bench. He is admitted to practice in Wisconsin, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Schultz built his practice in a way that kept him engaged in courtroom work and appellate matters. He founded and operates the David J. Schultz Law Office, where he has handled litigation and filings that touch both state and federal law. Colleagues and court records reflect a steady practice rather than one defined by frequent publicity. His work has involved preparing briefs, arguing motions, and managing the procedural steps that appellate work requires.
Professional memberships have remained part of Schultz's working life. He continues to hold current memberships in legal organizations that support ongoing learning and collegial exchange. He has balanced those affiliations with the demands of private practice, maintaining a small office structure rather than moving into large firm administration.
Clients and other lawyers describe Schultz as pragmatic in the courtroom and methodical in his preparation. He tends to approach a case through careful review of the record and precise briefing. His admissions to multiple courts reflect a practice that has extended beyond local trials to include appeals and federal matters.
Now in practice in 2026, Schultz brings several decades of experience to his practice. He remains active in filings and proceedings that reach state and federal appellate venues and continues to operate the David J. Schultz Law Office. He currently concentrates on representing clients in matters that proceed to state and federal appellate courts.
