Law firm drops Village of Dolton as client, says it hasn't been paid

DOLTON, Ill. (WLS) -- A law firm that had been representing Dolton dropped that south suburban village as a client.

The Del Galdo Law Group has been representing Dolton in more than a dozen cases, including some that involve serious injuries or death.

But the firm says it hasn't been paid, writing "the Board recently voted to stop paying our legal bills. We are, of course, not required to work for free and decline to do so."

ABC7 reached out to Dolton for a response, but did not immediately hear back.
