In a move that highlights the need for due diligence, it seems that an Illinois lawyer accidentally sued himself. It seems that the attorney filed a class action claim against a mortgage lender for allegedly charging excessive fees. The lender then brought in as third-party defendants the title company that received the allegedly excessive fees and the title company's owner, who was none other than the plaintiff's lawyer.

The plaintiff's attorney subsequently resigned from the representation of the client. Which is good, because how embarassing would it be to sue yourself and lose?
