Cmarko v. Fisher

The circuit court of Cook County awarded attorney fees and costs to defendants, Jack Fisher and La Salle National Bank (as trustee of a land trust), under section 2 — 611 of the Code of Civil Procedure (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 110, par. 2 — 611). The court entered the order against plaintiff, Stejpan Cmarko, and his attorney, Melvin Brandt.
