Jerry Kugler was born and raised in the Rogers Park area of Chicago where he attended Mather High School. After graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he volunteered at Thresholds, a halfway house for individuals suffering from mental illness. While attending law school he volunteered with the Chicago Legal Aid Society at Cook County Jail and worked in the 711 Program with the City of Chicago Department of Law. After graduating from John Marshall Law School in 1978, he began his career in private practice handling personal injury and work injury cases. Since 1978, he has represented individuals injured by the negligent acts of others and has handled thousands of cases on behalf of the injured. In 1993, the downtown law firm of Kugler, Cohen, and Sammarco opened a neighborhood office where Jerry Kugler and Associates has continued to practice. By appointment, we are available to meet with clients in the neighborhood, downtown and in the suburbs at your convenience. The consultation is free and if you are injured in an accident there is no fee unless we win your case.
Jerry has enjoyed raising his four children in the northwest suburbs of Chicago where he has coached baseball, basketball, and football for over 15 years.
