Brian M. Wcislo
About
Most lawyers will tell you they practice at a high level and handle only “complex” matters—Brian will tell you to check the scoreboard. Results speak louder than buzzwords, and he’s not here to play Scrabble with legal jargon. Brian firmly believes every lawyer should self-publish their record—if you're proud of your wins, why keep them in the witness protection program?
Brian Wcislo founded Wcislo Law Group in 2016 with the clear ambition of redefining how law is practiced. He recognized early on that traditional law firm structures often prioritize billable hours over practical solutions, so he built a firm that does the opposite—delivering efficient, strategic, and results-driven legal representation.
With a focus on commercial litigation and product liability defense, Brian has successfully handled high-stakes matters ranging from corporate takeovers and shareholder derivative suits to major mergers and acquisitions. His work even extends to unique product liability challenges—like testing vehicle crashworthiness in ways most lawyers wouldn't dare prompting the seatbelt laws to change in Texas in 2015.
Clients rely on Brian for his pragmatic, direct, and results-oriented approach. He cuts through legal jargon to provide clear, actionable guidance, ensuring businesses navigate even the most intricate corporate agreements with confidence. Known for his accessibility, versatility, and relentless commitment to his clients, Brian remains available around the clock to provide the support they need when they need it.
