A. C.C.P. Section 998 offer relates to a provision of the code related to costs and attorneys fees - if applicable. We can help you analyze whether an offer should be accepted or denied.

It is a formal offer to settle the case. However, note that your failure to accept it can raise issues later. If you are represented by counsel, you should have him thoroughly explain all its potential implications.
