Rick Boonstra represented Downtown Disposal Services, which claimed that the City of Chicago allowed it, an Illinois corporation, to proceed without an attorney in filing a “fill-in-the-blanks” complaint for administrative review and then asserted that Downtown could not do so because it involved the practice of law. Ultimately the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the Appellate Court’s ruling in Downtown Disposal’s favor. This is an important precedential case in Illinois on the issue of fairness in Administrative Review proceedings. Downtown Disposal provides that an Administrative Review complaint need not be dismissed because it was filed by a non-attorney representative. The ruling is broad, as it governs all administrative proceedings in the State of Illinois, including the extensive Administrative Hearings process run by the City of Chicago.
