Reaching an out-of-court settlement is often more affordable for everyone involved. Waiting for the hearing, preparing for the trial, and processing appeals can take a long time. Reaching an agreement allows customers to resolve the matter quickly and move on with their lives. When a case is resolved out of court, it means that both parties reached an agreement before the case goes to trial. The main reason most cases are resolved out of court is because the outcome is guaranteed or predictable.
However, unlike a trial, reaching an out-of-court settlement means that the agreement does not depend on a jury or judge. Both parties can reach a mutual agreement without the participation of other parties. What I told him then was that a lawyer's job is to argue the case as firmly as possible and any good lawyer can do that. This situation occurs in a remarkable number of cases and is based on a misinterpretation of the lawyer's role in negotiations to reach an agreement and on a lack of communication between the lawyer and his client, often caused by the fact that the lawyer does not understand why the client “overreacts” and suddenly acts annoying. Surprised and dismayed, he wonders if his lawyer has lost faith in his case, if his lawyer has lost the aggressiveness necessary to successfully close the case.
If your lawyer has made statements that concern you, put them on the table and ask if the lawyer still has faith in the case.
