About

Jon Erickson, known formally as Jonathan Parker Erickson, is a Decatur native and attended Decatur public schools through 12th grade.  He graduated from Eisenhower High School in 1991 and completed his undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice Sciences at Illinois State University in 1995. He received his Juris Doctorate from Southern Illinois University in 1999. He was admitted to practice law in the State of Illinois in 2000.       Jon worked as an Assistant State's Attorney for Macon County from Spring 2000 until December 2000 at which time he joined the law firm of Erickson, Davis, Murphy, Johnson, Griffith & Walsh, LTD.  He soon became a partner of the firm and practiced alongside his father, Fred, for nearly 17 years.  Jon is married and has one son, Fred.       On August 1, 2017, Jon started his own practice as a sole practitioner.  Unlike any other law firm or attorney in the Decatur area, Jon's practice is concentrated exclusively in the areas of divorce law and family law (including juvenile law, Orders of Protection, guardianship cases involving children, DCFS cases, Civil No-Contact Orders, adoption cases and criminal defense for domestic-related offenses).  Jon is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association and the Decatur Bar Association.  Although his office is located in Decatur in Macon County, Jon routinely accepts cases and travels to virtually all neighboring counties as well.

Jon is hands down the best lawyer around! I hired Jon when I was going through a custody battle. He made sure to keep my sons best interest in mind while going through the whole process. He goes above and beyond to help his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer!

Outstanding attorney! Jon is a dedicated and compassionare advocate for children. He has been such a blessing to our family through a very difficult time and always takes time to listen to his clients.

I hired Jon over 10 years ago during a difficult divorce/custody battle. Jon's representation and determination has been excellent and far exceeded my expectations. He has continued fighting for me throughout this trying time, always delivering on his promises. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality professional representation.

Before filing for divorce almost 8 years ago I'd never needed a lawyer and found the task of choosing one a bit daunting. I am very thankful that I eventually ended up hiring Jon. He's been instrumental in helping me understand the ins and outs of many aspects of family law. He's honest, rational and reasonable and truly cares about the best interest of the children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends or family, in fact I already have a time or two.
