County Bar Association Scores TRO In Illinois Lawsuit Accusing 'Land Patent' Foreclosure Rescue Peddler Of Practicing Law Without A License

In Kane County, Illinois, the Daily Herald reports:

• The Kane County Bar Association has succeeded in getting a temporary restraining order against a Carpentersville man who the bar association has accused of practicing law without a license. Judge Robert Mueller issued the order against Robert Sperlazzo in response to a lawsuit filed by the bar association.
• Sperlazzo is accused of acting as an attorney last December while advising two men going through foreclosures while they were at the Recorder’s Office.
• According to the bar association’s complaint, Sperlazzo was advising two men on Dec. 1 about a “land patent process” on how to keep their property even if they were in foreclosure.
• The complaint states that Sperlazzo took payment in cash and told the men to avoid the court system and not to talk to other attorneys because it would ruin the process. Sperlazzo has not returned phone calls from the Daily Herald. He was due in court last week but was a no-show.
