I have been married since 1986 and have been a father since 1991. Between these events I became an attorney in 1989. I have lived in Northern and Central Illinois. I am as familiar with concrete under my feet as I am with driving along the shore of the sea of corn. I have worked with people as varied as doctors, teachers and farmers.
I have represented ordinary people in areas from family court, juvenile court, to criminal court, all the possible venues where parents and children's relationships are at risk.
I bring a strong work ethic to my work and I never stop until it is won.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Attorney Sparacino has had repeated successes in the courtroom. Litigating relentlessly, he secured a critical Order of Protection for a father within an hour after his wife allegedly stalked and attacked him. This dad and his young daughter are now safe! In 2012, he presented for the U.S. Department of Education and the White House Office of Faith-based & Neighborhood Partnerships' Strong Fathers, Strong Families, Strong Schools Forum on maintaining and strengthening parent-child relationships. Sparacino lectured and educated lawyers, fathers and other attendees on winning tactics, preemptive strikes, and top legal maneuvers in divorce and relationship conflict.
