Kristin Schrank is an attorney by occupation, a lover of all things Wisconsin by birth, but, first and foremost, her passion is advocating for animals.   A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (B.A.), Marquette University Law School (J.D.), and Vermont Law School (LL.M.), Kristin currently is in private practice handling a wide variety of legal matters on behalf of Schrank Law, S.C.  

Kristin previously worked for the State of Wisconsin as an Assistant District Attorney where she served with distinction in several specialty units, including the Violent Crimes Unit, the Domestic Violence Unit, and the Sensitive Crimes Unit.  As a member of the Domestic Violence Unit, Kristin held the position of Regional Resource Prosecutor where part of her responsibilities included assisting and training other attorneys on how to handle cases involving violence against women.

During her entire tenure with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office, Kristin also handled Crimes-Against-Animals prosecutions.  Her expertise in this area led to her being asked to train law enforcement, veterinarians, and attorneys state-wide on investigation and prosecution of crimes involving animals.  For her efforts in prosecuting wildlife cases, Kristin was awarded a Special Service Award by the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.  

Working both on a professional and personal level, Kristin has been directly involved in legislative efforts at a local, state, and national level to protect both domestic animals and wildlife. Her background and experience has made her a sought out partner with other animal advocates and organizations that seek to end injustice to animals everywhere.

Outside of the office, you can usually find Kristin spending time with her beloved cats, Luis and Brinkley, her spirited chihuahua/papillon mix, Foxy, and her energetic three-legged pit bull, Beau, enjoying outdoor activities, or cheering on a Wisconsin sports team.
