Biography

Attorney Dennis Schroader is a graduate of Seattle University School of Law where he earned his Juris Doctor in 2014. While in law school, he also worked full time as a Rule 9 licensed legal intern for a prominent criminal defense attorney. Upon his admission to the Washington State Bar in 2015, Dennis opened his own law practice in the same building, and has been practicing there ever since, building a dedicated team of assistants and paralegals, and earning his reputation as a formidable litigator.

Dennis has helped hundreds of clients over his career, and has built relationships with opposing counsel and the bench in the courts where he practices. This helps him to better serve his clients. As he says, “When you know the person you’re dealing with, be it a judge or the other attorney, you know how to talk to them, how to relate to them, and what will be the most important and persuasive facts and arguments to use with them.”

Born in Seattle, Dennis grew up in Tacoma, and only left for college and his military service as an intelligence analyst in the Air Force. He returned because this has always been home, and he cares about this community. As a former Boy Scout, he has a love for the outdoors, and the Pacific Northwest wilderness in particular. When he’s not hard at work for his clients, Dennis can be found working in his yard or playing with his dogs, cheering on the Seahawks win or lose, or on his back porch while he practices his guitar. He needs the practice!
