As most of you have felt the pain & aguish, I will make an attempt (as feeble as it may be) to make this as to the point as possible
Travel ~1300 mi to attend Settlement Conf. All was going well, judge seemed fair, taking private time with both side, determining all concerns. While I was alone with him, he told me what he was going to recommend, although not all in my favor - I agreed it would be fair. At this point both parties are in front of the judge & before anything could be settle, the Applicants lawyer said she didn't feel well & court was adjourned. Nothing settled! (Snakes slithered out when all was not in their favor) I lost several days work, spent ~$1000 in rental cars/flights etc. Immediately after conference our lawyer drafted a doc. to the judge’s recommendations & presented to Applicant, in return we are presented with an Offer to settle that has none of the judge’s recommendations.
Where do we go from here? Does it go to trial if we don't agree? How long do we have to reply? THX !
