About Mr. Kurt August
Mr. Kurt August Carlson earned his Juris Doctor from DePaul University in 1971. He completed his legal studies at a time when the profession was changing rapidly. That degree set the stage for a long career based in Illinois.
Soon after receiving his J.D., Carlson began practicing law at Stock, Carlson, Oldfield & McGrath, LLC in 1971. He has remained associated with that firm through the years. The early move into private practice placed him in the middle of day-to-day client work from the start. Over decades he navigated the practical demands of representing clients in a variety of matters and running a practice in the local legal market.
Carlson has maintained ties to the local legal community throughout his career. He holds membership in the DuPage County Bar Association and has participated in the association as a member. That affiliation places him among lawyers who work regularly in DuPage County courts and who share information about court procedures and local practice. His long presence in the county has given him familiarity with the local bench and bar.
Licensed to practice in Illinois, Carlson has built a steady practice centered in Wheaton. His office is located in the Wheaton office of his firm. Over the years he has balanced client representation with the administrative demands of sustaining a small-firm practice. He has represented individuals and business clients from across DuPage County and beyond, managing matters that arise in state courts and before local agencies.
People who have worked with Carlson describe him as experienced in the mechanics of running a law practice and accustomed to the rhythms of local courts. He has seen changes in procedure and in law since the early 1970s. That perspective informs how he prepares cases, handles filings and communicates with clients.
Today he continues to practice in Wheaton, serving clients in DuPage County and elsewhere in Illinois. He currently maintains a practice in Wheaton that handles a range of matters for clients throughout the county and state.
