Bretz seeks quick reversal of license suspension
Charles Bretz, a former Will County prosecutor, aims to lift his indefinite law license suspension before a June 17 hearing. His lawyer argues no basis exists to revoke his license, while the disciplinary commission says a formal hearing in two to three months is likely. Bretz pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted official misconduct stemming from a scheme involving an adoption and a trumped up arrest. The case also touched Patricia Schneider, disbarred by the Illinois Supreme Court, and related persons who faced trials and penalties.
