Mr. Schlozman joined the Hinkle Law Firm LLC in 2007. His diverse practice is concentrated primarily on high-stakes government investigations and civil rights litigation defense of states, municipalities, and law enforcement groups. He also works extensively on employee benefit regulatory and ERISA matters, including ERISA litigation.
In his civil rights work, Brad represents states, municipalities, law enforcement organizations, and various advocacy groups around the country that are either engaged in litigation or being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice and state regulatory agencies on an array of civil rights issues. Representations have covered voting rights issues, racial preference disputes, disability matters, as well as a range of policing issues. He appears regularly in federal and state appellate courts across the nation on these issues.
In the ERISA arena, Brad represents plans, employers, third-party administrators, record-keepers, investment advisors, financial institutions, insurance brokers, pharmacy benefit managers, and various fiduciaries, helping them to achieve and maintain compliance with the panoply of laws, regulations, and guidance governing qualified and welfare benefit issues. He also has helped defend such entities against lawsuits grounded in ERISA and different state laws.
Prior to joining the firm, Brad held a series of high-level posts in the Department of Justice, including United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division, and Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General.
Before transferring to the Justice Department in 2001, Brad was a senior associate at Howrey, Simon, Arnold & White, LLP in Washington, D.C., where he was a member of the Supreme Court and Appellate Litigation Practice.

Thomas VanBebber of the District of Kansas, and U.S. Circuit Judge Mary Beck Briscoe of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
