A law firm representing Dolton in several cases in Cook County and federal courts says it’s at risk of no longer being paid and is abandoning the village, where the mayor is under scrutiny by federal investigators.
The April 24 letter to the village from Michael Del Galdo, founding attorney of the Berwyn firm, said that, by May 8, it will file motions in the cases to withdraw.At that same meeting, trustees called for an outside investigation into Mayor Tiffany Henyard, who latertaken by the trustees, although they have since voted to override her veto.
Del Galdo was appointed village prosecutor, handling matters such as prosecuting traffic tickets and ordinance violations, but represented Dolton in litigation in state and federal court, trustees said, adding they have not received regular updates on pending lawsuits.
