Marker Law, LLC

Marker Law proudly serves Naperville and the greater Chicagoland area, providing experienced, results-driven representation in personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. Founded by attorney Jason Marker, the firm is built on a simple mission: to stand up for injured individuals and guide them through difficult moments with clarity, compassion, and strength.

What sets Marker Law apart is its hands-on, client-first approach. Every client works directly with an experienced attorney from start to finish, receiving clear guidance, honest communication, and personalized attention—never left wondering what comes next.

While no one can undo the harm caused by an accident, Marker Law is committed to securing maximum financial recovery while helping clients access medical care and return to normalcy. As Mr. Marker says, “We are in the business of putting lives back together.”

The firm understands recovery is both physical and financial, helping connect clients with trusted medical providers—even without insurance or immediate resources—so they can focus on healing while the legal team handles the case.

With over 25 years of experience, Jason Marker brings valuable insight from his early career representing insurance companies. He now uses that knowledge to anticipate defense strategies and fight for maximum results. The firm has recovered millions for clients and maintains a 97% win rate.

Marker Law handles car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, workplace injuries, slip and falls, and other negligence claims. The firm is well known among insurance companies, defense attorneys, and judges. In 2023, Mr. Marker received the AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, recognizing the highest level of professional excellence.

Consultations are free, and there are no fees unless compensation is recovered. Call 33-INJURED or visit Marker Law on social media to learn more.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL.

Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services:

* Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court.

* Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis.

* Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.
