Verdicts & Settlements

Real Estate Agent Denied License Renewal - The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) denied the renewal of a real estate agent's license, because the agent had not fulfilled the pre-renewal continuing education requirements mandated by the IDFPR. We advised the agent to take the required continuing education courses, and we appealed the IDFPR's decision based on the administrative regulation that allows post-renewal continuing education to be applied to the pre-renewal period. We won the appeal, and the IDFPR renewed the agent's license.
