A former Chicago resident whose home is in foreclosure has filed a
lawsuit against Fisher and Shapiro LLC, the law firm that admitted to
Cook County Circuit Court that some of the mortgage foreclosures it
handled contained altered documents.

The suit, filed in federal court in Chicago Monday, seeks class-action
status and comes three months after the court’s Chancery division
temporarily halted more than 1,700 mortgage foreclosure cases as a
result of the law firm’s admission. Upon further review by the court,
the number of cases that was temporarily stayed grew to 2,127.
