Jilted Lawyers Sue Judith Regan Over Payment

Really, who else but Judith Regan would get sued by her own lawyers?

The former publisher is accused of firing the two law firms she'd retained to wage her legal fight against News Corp. to keep them from sharing in what is believed to be a multi-million-dollar settlement.

The firms, Drier LLP and Redniss & Associates, were supposed to get 25 percent of any award or settlement. Instead, they got zero percent. They're also accusing Regan of stiffing them on $42,560 in fees.

It gets better: Bert Fields, the Hollywood attorney Regan brought in to see her suit against News Corp. to its conclusion, is also named as a defendant. He tells the New York Post that he's going to sue Dreier and Redniss if they keep this up.
