About Jonathan
Jonathan Crannell built his path to law in a steady, conventional way. He earned a Bachelor of Science in management information systems and business from Miami University of Ohio in 2006. He then continued his studies at Chicago-Kent College of Law, earning a J.D. in 2009. Those years on campus shaped how he approaches problems: methodically, and with attention to detail.
After law school he turned toward practice in Illinois. He is admitted to practice in that state and established his professional life there. In 2013 he joined Marker & Associates, P.C. as a lawyer. The listing shows a steady tenure at the firm from that year onward.
Beyond his firm work, Crannell has stayed active in the legal community. He has been a member of the Illinois State Bar Association, the DuPage County Bar Association and the Will County Bar Association since 2010. He also holds membership in the Illinois Trial Lawyer Association beginning in 2013. On a local level he served on the board of the DuPage County Bar Association from 2011 through 2015. Those roles placed him in contact with colleagues across practice areas and offered regular exposure to continuing legal education and local bar initiatives.
Colleagues describe his approach as pragmatic. He applies the analytical training from his undergraduate studies to casework and uses his law training to structure arguments and filings. His work at Marker & Associates, P.C. has involved the kinds of tasks expected of a practicing lawyer: client counseling, preparation of filings, and courtroom appearances when required. He has remained connected to trial-focused organizations while also participating in county and state bar activities.
Crannell’s trajectory is one of steady involvement rather than high-profile publicity. He has combined local bar service with ongoing practice at a single firm. That continuity has allowed him to build relationships within the Illinois legal community and to handle recurring client matters over time.
He continues to practice at Marker & Associates, P.C., representing the firm’s clients and handling the matters assigned to him in the course of that work.
