Through his years in practice, Mr. Schierer has worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life.

Mr. Schierer attended college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. He then went on to earn his Juris Doctor from Washington University School of Law, one of the top 25 law schools in the United States.

Former Criminal Prosecutor for the U.S. Navy JAG Corps

Mr. Schierer began his legal career in criminal defense, working as a public defender before he went into private practice in criminal law.

While he is not working, Mr. Schierer enjoys spending time with his family, volunteering in the community, watching the Fighting Illini, exploring local cuisine, and soaking in the sights at Wrigley Field.
