About Raj
Raj Jutla practices law in Illinois and in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. He has a straightforward career path: undergraduate studies followed by law school, then steady involvement in local and state bar organizations. His professional life is grounded in the communities where he works.
He completed a Bachelor of Arts at Illinois State University in 1999 and earned his Juris Doctor from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2003. Those credentials set the stage for a practice built around courtroom work and transactional matters in Illinois.
Jutla serves as a lawyer at Jutla Legal, LLC. The firm is his primary professional base. He is admitted to practice in Illinois and before the Northern District of Illinois, which allows him to take cases in both state and federal courts. Over the years he has maintained memberships in several bar organizations that align with the kinds of matters he handles.
His association list includes the Illinois State Bar Association, the Illinois Real Estate Lawyers Association and the Illinois Creditors Bar Association. He is also a member of the Lake County Bar Association, where he has been active since 2013. Those memberships suggest steady engagement with real estate and creditors’ issues, as well as general civil litigation.
Since 2019 he has served as Co-Chair of the Civil Litigation Committee of the Northwest Suburban Bar Association. That role has him working with other local lawyers on committee programming, educational events and issues affecting civil practice in the suburbs north of Chicago. The position reflects ongoing involvement in the regional legal community and regular interaction with fellow practitioners.
Colleagues describe him as practical and accessible in day-to-day matters, preferring clear legal explanations over legalese. He concentrates his efforts on matters that arise in the local courts and in federal court when cases require it. He maintains an active presence in bar organizations and in local civil litigation circles. He currently practices at Jutla Legal, LLC and handles matters arising in Illinois state and federal courts.
