Two Illinois Lawyers Have Similar Name and Practice Focus, But Only One Is Being Sued By State AG
Both Michael E. Fleck and Michael J. Fleck are Illinois lawyers who handle real estate matters. They are often mistaken for each other, Michael J. Fleck tells Chicago radio station WBBM.
But that is now more of a problem for Michael J. Fleck now that Michael E. Fleck has been sued by the state attorney general over the way he runs his practice. The non-defendant lawyer says he has taken some flak over the mix-up and is trying to clarify that he’s not involved in the litigation.
“It’s been a little difficult to try and stay out in front of this with our colleagues and our friends and our clients,” he tells the station.
The Daily Herald and Legal Newsline provide further details about AG Lisa Madigan’s suits in Cook County Circuit Court against a number of Chicago area lawyers and law firms that represent consumers in foreclosure and loan-modification matters.
Michael E. Fleck did not immediately respond to an ABA Journal request for comment early this morning.
