There is way, way, too much information needed than presented to answer that.
Contact an attorney.
he should get a lawyer
if he has a lawyer, he should trust his lawyer
if he does not trust his lawyer, he should get a new lawyer
too many things affect this decision for anyone to answer your question on the facts you have given - likely you do not know all the important facts and there is no reason you should
If it is a good deal he should except it, if it is a bad deal he should reject it. There is just not enough information for any attorney to give a well founded answer. If he has an attorney he can get that attorney's opinion, which would be based on facts of the case, statutes, case law and several other factors. If he does not have an attorney he should get one to go over the above factors. Sorry this answer cannot provide better answers, but simply put, much more info needs to be provided.
