Marko Law PLLC is pleased to announce that Jonathan R. Marko, firm founder and principal attorney, was selected for The National Law Journal’s seventh annual list of Plaintiffs’ Lawyers Trailblazers. The competitive series recognizes lawyers who make their mark in various aspects of legal work on the Plaintiffs’ side.
Marko and his fellow honorees were featured in a special Trailblazers supplement that published within The National Law Journal’s May/June 2023 issue. Marko’s profile within the supplement highlights his work taking employment cases against the Michigan Department of Corrections (DOC) in which his clients had experienced racism and discrimination at facilities across the state, including an entire prison in Detroit.
“Some say the DOC is the last frontier in equality … I want to break that cycle … I dare say these cases will lead to better working environments, employment policies and procedures, and management in state government going into the future,” Marko said. “I am proud to stand up to Michigan’s biggest bureaucracy.”
Marko and his team represent clients in a range of civil rights matters, personal injury suits, employment litigation, sexual assault and wrongful death cases, and more. He has numerous published appellate decisions and has been recognized by local and national news outlets for his work in the legal field. Most recently, he received the Detroit Bar Association’s Section of the Year Award in appreciation for his outstanding leadership while serving as 2022-2023 chair of the Civil Rights Section. He has been named a Super Lawyers “Rising Star” for the past 11 years and was also named one of the National Academy of Personal Injury Lawyers’ top 10 personal injury attorneys in the state of Michigan.
