Rinella & Rinella
Cook County, Illinois
As an example of what can occur if an attorney does not fulfill
his legal obligation to conduct a pre-filing investigation of any alleged
claims. In this court case, the court sanctioned the litigant and his attorneys,
Bernard
B. Rinella and Walter J. Monco, for the sum of $22,187.42.
How would you, as a client, like to be sanctioned for
the misconduct of your attorneys? Did the attorneys charge their client
for the monies that the attorneys had to pay to the court?
