History
Established in 2001.
Sara J. Gray started this firm after her time at the Will County Public Defender's Office. She soon added a partner, former classmate Kayode R. Idris, who took on immigration and personal injury cases. They changed the name to Law Offices of Gray and Idris, P.C. In 2005 she and Attorney Kayode R. Idris split the firm to better serve both of their needs but continued sharing office space and staff. Attorney Gray moved to the Near West side of Joliet in 2008 to a location which was more convenient for clients to find and which provided better parking. In 2012 Attorney Gray was able to procure yet better office space where she is today.
We occupy an entire 1-story, lovely, brick bungalow near the intersection of Reed and Jefferson Streets. We offer off-street parking and a ramp to the main entrance. We are able to hold meetings and real estate closings in our spacious conference area, and we can accommodate multiple clients and their families in our waiting area.
