(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Attorneys representing rival factions of suburban Dolton's splintered government are now involved in a lawsuit with one another.

Mayor Tiffany Henyard's former attorney, Michael Del Galdo, is suing attorney Burt Oldelson, who represents village trustees who are at odds with the mayor. The suit alleges defamation.


A Channel 9 report found that Del Galdo accused Odelson of making false statements, including one allegation that Del Galdo improperly billed the village tens of thousands of dollars.

Del Galdo said that allegation turned trustees against his firm.

Odelson denies any wrongdoing and calls the lawsuit "baseless and frivolous."

Del Galdo stopped representing the village because trustees refused to pay him.
