Biography

SK Walker Law, LLC in Marion, IL, is a Marine Corps Combat Veteran owned law firm with SIU School of Law Alum, attorney Scott Walker, who focuses his practice to the area of Personal Injury, Probate, Wills, Trust, Estates, Contract, Real Estate, Business and Mass Tort law.

I use my military and mechanic background and training to troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve our issues.

I listen and relate to my clients through my real-world experience, which includes 14 years of military service, with combat tours during Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom, and over twenty years of managerial experience in the maintenance, mining, and resort industries.

I became an attorney so I can bring my real-world experience to the practice of law and use my different perspective of the world to passionately help people with the challenges they face.

Legal Answers
Q. Police have held my car on hold since 3/18/23 and I tried to get info on it but the police report doesn’t even exist
A: I'm sorry to hear about your accident and hope everyone is recovering well. Here's are some things you can try to obtain information about your accident.:

Illinois State Police (ISP) Crash Reports: You can request a crash report from the ISP online at https://isp.illinois.gov/CrashReports or by mail. You'll need to provide details from the accident, such as a driver's first and last name, the date of the crash, and the location of the crash.

Illinois Department of Transportation Motorist Report: You can also request your crash report online from sites like https://myaccident.org/illinois-accident-reports. You'll need to provide information about the accident and specific driver, or vehicle involved in the crash².

Contact Police Departments for the area where the crash occurred: If a local police officer or sheriff did appear on the scene, you may be able to get a report from their respective offices.

Legal Assistance: If you're having difficulty obtaining the necessary information, consider seeking help from a personal injury lawyer. They can assist you in gathering the required details and navigating the process.

I have no affiliation and make no recommendation of the use of any of the sites listed above; I merely list them as reference to resources that may help you. I hope this helps you in obtaining the necessary details about your accident. Please take care.
