About Charles
Charles Locker earned his Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School in 1959. He completed his legal education at a time of change in the profession and entered practice in Illinois shortly thereafter. That early training set the stage for a long association with the state bar and with legal institutions in Chicago.
His career spans many decades and includes a continuing role at Therman Law Offices, LTD., where he serves as Senior of Counsel. In that capacity he provides experienced counsel on cases brought to the firm and assists in the development of legal strategy. His title reflects a senior advisory role rather than day-to-day management of the firm.
Locker maintains active memberships in both the Illinois State Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association. He has participated in the professional life of those organizations through membership, attending meetings and contributing to the broader dialogue of the legal community in Illinois. Those affiliations connect him to peers across practice areas and to continuing legal education opportunities.
Throughout his time in practice, Locker has remained tied to Illinois courts and matters arising under state law. He has handled client matters across numerous stages of litigation and counsel, bringing an institutional perspective to cases that come through the firm. Colleagues describe his work as steady and rooted in long experience working within Illinois procedures and local practice norms.
At Therman Law Offices, LTD., Locker works alongside other attorneys to review case files, advise on legal risks, and prepare filings when necessary. His role often involves mentoring younger lawyers at the firm, drawing on decades of practice to offer practical guidance. The position allows him to contribute to client work while not carrying the administrative burdens of firm leadership.
Clients and colleagues looking for an attorney familiar with Illinois practice will find in Locker a lawyer who has navigated the state’s courts for many years. He continues to maintain an active presence in the legal community and to support the work of his firm. He currently focuses on advising clients on legal matters in Illinois.
