ABOUT BRAD PLASCHKE
Experienced. Focused. Committed to Your Family.
Brad Plaschke is the Managing Attorney of OnlyLawyers.co, an Illinois law firm focused exclusively on estate planning, probate administration, trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and elder law for DuPage County and Chicagoland families.
Brad brings an unusual combination of legal expertise and operational leadership to estate planning practice. In addition to his legal career, Brad has held C-suite executive roles — including Chief Operating Officer and Chief Revenue Officer — at legal services organizations and technology companies. That background shapes how he approaches estate planning: not as a document transaction, but as a coordination and risk management exercise that requires legal precision, practical clarity, and attention to execution.
