Oak Brook attorney disbarred after fraud conviction

Oak Brook attorney Danny Lattas was disbarred following his conviction in federal court of wire fraud and mail fraud, according to the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.

Lattas also pleaded guilty, in a separate federal case, to bank fraud and making false statements to a lending institution, the commission said.

"Mr. Lattas took part in a real estate developer's multimillion dollar scheme to defraud several banks on mortgages for units opening in a condominium tower in the Chicago's South Loop," the complaint said. "He was suspended on an interim basis on June 20, 2016."
