Elgin lawyer bilked clients, authorities say

ELGIN -- Local lawyer William C. Chesbrough has been charged with bilking two area residents out of $140,000.

Elgin police Wednesday arrested Chesbrough, 58, of 1401 Grande Point Blvd., West Dundee, on two counts of felony theft and one count of felony financial exploitation of an elderly person, according to the Kane County State's Attorney's Office.

[This is the most telling thing about the state’s licensing process:]  The state commission reported that there was no discipline or pending proceedings on Chesbrough's record so far.
