Attorney Fozard graduated from Sheboygan South High School in 2005.

Shortly thereafter, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantryman. He was stationed in Twentynine Palms, California with First Battalion, Seventh Marines, Weapons Company and deployed to Iraq’s Al Anbar Province for combat operations on three separate occasions. He served in several billets: Dismount, HMMWV driver, Vehicle Commander, Patrol Leader, Chief Armorer, and Platoon Sergeant. He was honorably discharged in June 2009.

From 2009 to 2013, he attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, majored in Criminal Justice, and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

His passion for understanding government, policy, and interaction with the private sector led him to seek his Juris Doctorate degree at the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2013. There, he participated in the year-long Consumer Law Litigation Clinic where he practiced consumer protection law. He then took a summer legal internship at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Enforcement Office in Washington, D.C.

His time at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was well-spent. First, he helped establish the parent corporation liability of a billion-dollar payday lending company for its unfair debt collection. That company was fined $10 million for its practices. See this link: EZCorp Ordered to Pay $10 Million. Second, he completed the factual research and drafted the Complaint against a company who recklessly sold millions of consumers’ sensitive personal information that was then used to collect money for fraudulent debts. That company disgorged of its approximately $20 thousand dollars in profits. See this link: Consent Order.

Attorney Fozard’s dedication to helping consumers led him to testify before the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Financial Institutions in 2015 to keep Wisconsin’s consumer protection laws strong.

He graduated from Wisconsin Law School in May 2016.
