JOHN STOCKER​

John Stocker has practiced for over 25 years as a real estate attorney.  Upon graduation from Northwestern University Law School, John joined the Chicago office of Katten Muchin Rosenman. Practicing Real Estate law at a large, national law firm exposed John to many complex real estate transactions, including acquisitions, leasing, and construction projects.  He subsequently became a partner in the law firm MKS LLC and then a founding partner in SMJ Law LLC.  In both firms he continued to focus on commercial real estate, although he has also remained active with residential real estate transactions. John was an undergraduate at the University of Illinois, and he still holds hope that either the football or basketball team may once again return to glory.
