I focus my practice mainly on landlord-tenant law, representing both landlords and tenants. After being a partner of Wassel, Harvey & Schuk, LLP for 12 years, I opened my own law firm, Schuk Law, LLC, in June of 2017. I continue to offer experienced and effective representation to businesses and individuals by assisting with negotiating and drafting leases, evictions, and damages/security deposit disputes. I am also familiar with HUD and Rural Development rules and regulations.
I have participated in numerous speaking engagements for Sterling Education Services (SES), Wisconsin State Bar's Pinnacle, and for local associations and groups. In May 2017, I was program chair for Pinnacle's webinar, From Evictions to Damages, which included a panel discussion with local commissioners and a circuit court judge. I am also an adjunct professor at both UW-Madison Law School and Marquette University Law School.
I have also shared my landlord-tenant law knowledge through various writing projects. In 2016, I was asked to write a featured article for the State Bar of Wisconsin's Inside Track. The article, New Law Gives Landlords More Tools to Remove Problem Tenants, discussed the changes to the landlord-tenant law created by the 2015 Wisconsin Act 176. More recently, I was asked to contribute to the State Bar of Wisconsin's upcoming book, Wisconsin Landlord/Tenant Manual, for Books Unbound.
I am an active member in good standing of the State Bar of Wisconsin and is a former President of the Walworth County Bar Association. I received his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, and his J.D. from Marquette University Law School.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Brian was opposing counsel in a case dealing with the rental and use of an airplane hangar in rural southern Wisconsin. He was prepared, thorough, and knowledgeable. Although we disagreed on just about everything, he was very professional, and a good lawyer. I still seek Brian's advice from time to time on a variety of legal issues."
