About Michael
Michael Brennan earned his law degree from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2007 after completing a bachelor’s degree in political science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2002. His academic background combined a grounding in public affairs with three years of legal training during which he prepared for practice across state lines.
He is admitted to practice in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Those multistate credentials shape much of his work. Over time he has built a practice that often requires handling procedural and substantive differences among nearby state courts and regulatory systems.
Brennan maintains active memberships in the Illinois State Bar Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association and the Minnesota Bar Association. He is also a member of the Milwaukee Bar Association. Those professional ties keep him connected to local rules and court developments, and they provide a network of colleagues across the region.
His background in political science informs a measured approach to legal problems. He tends to weigh statutory text and administrative practice carefully. He also pays attention to how local courts treat precedents and to the practical effects of litigation strategy on clients who operate in more than one state.
Clients and colleagues describe him as precise in analysis and direct in communication. He breaks complex matters into practical steps. He places emphasis on clear deadlines and on aligning legal options with the business or personal realities that clients face.
Brennan’s work is regional in scope. He handles matters that require familiarity with Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota law and court procedures. He currently practices across Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, representing clients in those jurisdictions.
