"They kept telling us throughout the year that when we graduated if we followed these procedures we could take the CCI exam which would allow us to pursue job opportunities."

If you are already represented by our law firm, you may always contact us with any specific questions or concerns that you may have.

  October 2008 during the  academic term, Medical Careers Institute, known as MCI, closed its doors in downtown Chicago suddenly and without notice to its students.

The school, owned by William G. Zane and Thalia Zane,  not only disappointed its students and  their families, but the school failed to honor its refund policy and failed to follow the State of Illinois' regulations regarding shutting down which included the obligation to forward all student's files and transcripts to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Our law firm has been vigorously investigating the claims of many current and former students that MCI made fraudulent misrepresentations, committed breach of contract, and even proceeded with unauthorized credit card processing just prior to closing its doors.

We learned that, reportedly, the school hired a commercial paper shredding service and many students records are now believed irretrievably lost. This callous action, if true, has unnecessarily imposed even more pain on those students who would like to move on and transfer to another educational institution.

Our law firm is dedicated to pursing legal remedies for all current and former students of MCI, and we cooperate with law enforcement and the media in seeking these aims, and to urge reform of the technical school industry.

We first began investigating Medical Careers Institute in the summer of 2008, when two former students discovered,  contrary to MCI's claims,  that its program did not  qualify its graduates for national Registry examination, even after gaining 800 clinical hours of experience in a qualified hospital setting.

In our mind, every school has a special relationship to its students which obligates it not to mislead prospective or current students in any way, and to not break the promises it makes.

The Illinois Supreme Court law has called the school-student relationship a fiduciary relationship. We call it doing the right thing.
