Taft Chicago Partner-in-Charge Anthony R. Licata was quoted in a Jan. 8 Southtown Star article titled “Lincoln Mall: Matteson’s multimillion-dollar money pit.” The article reveals the financial woes of Lincoln Mall in Matteson, Ill., and the impact the mall’s negligence has had on the village. Last August, the firm filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Village of Matteson against the owner of Lincoln Mall seeking permission from the court to close the property due to a multitude of building and fire code violations.
