An attorney cannot represent a Plaintiff or Defendant against his client on both sides of a case .
It sounds like 1 attorney will have to drop out of representing the Defendant who is now suing, and no longer be able to represent that person against the other defendants.
You can't at the same time represent Defendant #1 and also represent Defendant #2,3,4 against #1.
