General Info:

The law firm traces its roots back to the 1960's, when Harris Fawell began the private practice of law. For many years the firm rented offices above the Bank of Naperville, at 5th and Washington. In 1972, the law firm moved to the Scott House, which was the Beidelman family home at that time, at 101 North Washington Street. The law firm was known as Fawell, James and Brooks from 1972 through 1990. By then, Harris Fawell was finishing his third term as the U.S. Congressman from Naperville. The firm practiced primarily in local government, real estate and business law for many years. In 1990, the law firm changed its' name to James, Brooks, Adams and Tarulis. The name changed again in 1996 to Brooks, Adams & Tarulis. During these years, the firm ranged from six to eight attorneys, and developed a reputation in many areas of law. In 2010, the law firm became a limited liability company, with the name Brooks, Tarulis, Schaffer & Tibble, LLC. The firm has been in the Scott House for almost 40 years, and still represents many of the firm's original clients. Fawell and James are retired and living in Naperville, and Jerry Brooks passed away in 2007. The historic Scott House was built by Willard Scott, Sr. in 1867. Mr. Scott was born in Unadilla, New York, in 1809, to Stephen Scott, originally of Connecticut, and Hadassah Trask, a descendant of Gen. Israel Putnam. Their family lived in Maryland and Michigan before building a crude home near Chicago in 1826. In the early 1830's, during a time of Indian uprisings, the Scotts staked a claim at the confluence of the east and west branches of the DuPage River. In 1839, when the counties of DuPage, Will, McHenry and Lake were carved out of Cook County, the Scott's land was placed in Will County, and the Scotts lost the distinction of being the first white settlers in DuPage County to the Bailey Hobsons.
