Jon Marko Inducted as Fellow of the Michigan State Bar Foundation

Marko Law is proud to announce that founder Jon Marko has been inducted as a Fellow of the Michigan State Bar Foundation—a prestigious honor reserved for less than 5% of Michigan attorneys. This recognition highlights Jon’s excellence in trial advocacy and his commitment to fighting for justice in and beyond the courtroom.

Jon Marko Inducted as Fellow of the Michigan State Bar Foundation

At Marko Law, we don’t just fight cases—we fight for the very core of justice in Michigan. And now, our founder and principal attorney, Jonathan R. Marko, has been recognized for that dedication in one of the highest honors in the legal profession: induction as a 2025 Fellow of the Michigan State Bar Foundation (MSBF).

What Does It Mean to Be an MSBF Fellow?

The Michigan State Bar Foundation Fellows Program is more than just a title—it’s an exclusive group of attorneys who represent the highest traditions of excellence, professionalism, and community service in the legal field. Less than 5% of Michigan’s practicing attorneys are invited to join this distinguished group.

According to the MSBF Fellows Program:

“Fellows embody the highest traditions of the legal profession, and their contributions support the important work of the Michigan State Bar Foundation.”

That work includes supporting access to justice initiatives, funding programs that provide free or low-cost legal aid for underserved communities, and strengthening the public’s trust in the legal system.

Why This Recognition Matters

Jon Marko’s induction isn’t just about prestige—it’s about impact. This recognition highlights what Marko Law has stood for from day one:

  • Giving a voice to the voiceless – Whether it’s a survivor of sexual abuse, a worker silenced after reporting unsafe conditions, or a victim of catastrophic injury, our mission has always been to stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves.
  • Fighting for fairness – From landmark cases like the $76.7 million Kroger premises liability verdict—the largest in Michigan history—to recent victories such as a $6 million settlement for a sexual abuse survivor, Marko Law continues to set the bar for results.
  • Championing civil rights and workplace justice – Jon’s advocacy stretches beyond the courtroom. Whether speaking out on Fox 2 Detroit about First Amendment rights or standing up in the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association, he’s committed to making the law work for everyone.

Becoming a Fellow is a reminder that fighting cases is only part of the job. The other part is shaping the legal community to be more just, more accessible, and more relentless in the pursuit of fairness.

Marko Law’s Ongoing Commitment to Justice

This honor comes at a time when Marko Law is continuing to expand its presence and impact across Michigan:

  • Personal Injury & Catastrophic Claims – Including car, truck, motorcycle, boating, slip and fall, and product liability cases.
  • Civil Rights & Employment Law – Fighting wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower cases under laws like the Michigan Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) and the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA).
  • High-Profile Trial Advocacy – With Jon’s natural strength in the courtroom and media presence, our firm brings complex cases into the spotlight, holding corporations, municipalities, and institutions accountable.

This recognition by the MSBF is not just a personal milestone for Jon—it’s a reflection of what Marko Law stands for: bold, relentless advocacy for Michigan residents.

Looking Ahead

Being inducted as a Fellow is not the finish line—it’s fuel for what comes next. Marko Law will continue to push forward with high-stakes litigation, community involvement, and standing up where others back down.

As Jon says in every trial, “Justice isn’t given. It’s fought for. And we don’t back down.”

Good evening, gentlemen! Just wanted to pop in and give a big shoutout to the Marko Law squad. Gasper was an absolute assassin in the best possible way — and trust me, that’s a high compliment coming from me. In a world full of soft millennials, this guy is built different. John Eads & Gasper tag-teamed those negotiations like champs, especially with a mediator and attorney who were… let’s just say “extra spicy” with a side of confusion. Either way, I wanted to send some love and let you know I’ll be sending clients your way for the foreseeable future.

He has never given up on my case and continues to fight hard to make sure justice is served. He truly cares about his clients and it shows in everything he does. I’m so grateful for his commitment, integrity, and perseverance. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer who will stand by you every step of the way.

She went above and beyond to assist me in navigating your corporate structure to ensure that I could talk directly to the person who could best help me. Due to her assistance, my issue was successfully resolved.
