Our History
Fullett Swanson PC’s roots date back to 1986. After graduating
from The John Marshall Law School that year, Paul Fosco, the firm’s
founding member and his partner “hung a shingle” outside of
a 750 square-foot office in Mount Prospect, Illinois. Initially, the firm
focused on representation of automobile dealers in connection with various
facets of their businesses, but it soon gravitated toward handling all
aspects of its clients’ real estate-related matters. Over time,
the firm evolved and began concentrating in other areas of the law, including
representation of community associations throughout the greater Chicagoland
area. This proved to be a pivotal move in shaping the firm’s future.
As the community association practice began to flourish, the firm was seeking
an experienced litigation and collection attorney and joined forces with
Stuart Fullett in 2001. Stuart had gained extensive negotiation and litigation
experience while working as a sole practitioner and prosecutor for the
City of Prospect Heights, Illinois. His versatility proved to be essential
to the new firm, and Stuart immediately became a partner and was primarily
responsible for managing all phases of the firm’s collection and
litigation practice.
In 2002, the firm further expanded upon its community association practice
and recruited Scott Rosenlund. Scott had previously been employed as an
associate in a law firm located in Olympia Fields, Illinois. Scott brought
an extensive level of experience and skill to the firm, including widespread
knowledge on complex and day-to-day community association governance matters,
procedures and documentation. The addition of Scott to the growing firm
provided to be ideal fit, and Scott became a shareholder in the firm in 2007.
Lara Anderson joined the firm in 2010. Prior to becoming a shareholder
in the firm, Lara had been employed as a partner in a large, national
law firm. Lara possessed invaluable experience in all aspects of community
association law, as well as complex civil rights, constitutional law and
municipal law matters. Her years of legal experience and all-around knowledge
have been vital in providing practical know-how and counsel to the firm’s
community association clients.
