Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

withdrawing a signed agreement

I went to Small Claims Court for a claim against the builder of my home. We did not settle the issue with a mediator and have a court date set with the Judge. The attorney for the defendant called and made me an offer for my costs minus the court costs and said I had 3 hours to decide or the deal was off the table. I agreed and faxed him the agreement. I then thought about it and was mad that he pressured me and never mailed the original papers to him with our signatures. Am I bound to this decision since the papers were faxed or can I withdraw without consequences since I never mailed the copies with our signatures. The fax copes had our signature.

Thank you for answering this question for me.
