Jon has handled virtually every type of criminal case, from petty traffic violations to various misdemeanors to very serious Class X felonies, including murder. He has a unique perspective when it comes to handling criminal cases in that unlike any other criminal defense attorney in Central Illinois, he was also a prosecutor, proudly served an auxiliary police officer for the City of Decatur for many years and was an instructor of new police recruits from agencies throughout the State of Illinois at the Macon County Law Enforcement Training Center, which is a police academy located in Decatur, Illinois.
