About this Article

A disbarred lawyer was sentenced to a month in jail Monday for stealing $30,000 from a Bensenville printing firm, prosecutors said. Salvatore "Sam" Tuzzolino, 46, of Mount Prospect, pleaded guilty to felony theft over $10,000. He was sentenced by DuPage County Judge John Kinsella to 30 days in jail and two years of probation. Tuzzolino, a former partner at a law firm in Skokie, was voluntarily disbarred in November 2010 amid complaints he misrepresented or neglected three clients who hired him to recoup failed investments.
