While at AIG, I was consulted when two plaintiff PI lawyers were arguing over their fee split of a policy limit settlement. They were both so irrational and argumentative, we filed an interpleader action. I hadn't even thought of the word "interpleader" since my civil procedure class. But I did get to hand deliver a $1 million check to the clerk of the court. And it cost them my attorney's fees, costs, and paying interest to the court.
