Tracy Jones

My passion is to aggressively represent the rights of individuals injured while working, ensuring that all the clients I help get the benefits they deserve. While growing up, my family owned a small auto repair business. I was always taught that employees are a vital and important part of a business’ family. Too often in today’s society, employees mean very little beyond a number to employers, and when those employees dedicate everything they have to working and get hurt, employers often turn their backs on them. It’s my job to make sure that the injured workers are taken care of and get the medical treatment and benefits they are entitled to, without having to lose everything in the process. I attended Northern Illinois University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2003. I received my Juris Doctorate from The John Marshall Law School in Chicago in May of 2006 and began working for The Law Office of Jim Black & Associates. In January 2014, I became the managing attorney in the firm. Then in January 2015, I became an Owner/Partner of the firm after which the name of the firm changed to Black & Jones, Attorneys at Law. I am a member of the American Bar Association, Illinois State Bar Association, Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Association, and Winnebago County Bar Association where I previously held the position of chair and vice-chair of the Workers’ Compensation Section. I am co-author of IICLE Chapter 5. I am married with two children. In my free time, I enjoy reading, riding horses, spending time with my family outdoors, participating in charity events, and hanging out in our custom hotrods at car shows.
