Why did an Insurance Company file a case against Finkel?

In Dec 2008, First Protective Insurance Company filed a case against Barry and Susan Finkel to resolve a dispute of Contract and Indebtedness.
When you have attorneys (who as members of the bar, take an oath to uphold the law) clogging the system with their own personal disputes, how can they focus on their own case load?
Court records are public documents, so anyone seeking legal advice should thoroughly research their attorney to be certain that they do respect their own contracts.
