You can always seek a second opinion. How could they have offered $150,000 and now $25,000?

Re: law suit questions
There are too many considerations to answer your question. Is this case currenlty in litigation? Were any 'Offers of Judgment' filed regarding your case? Is surgery an option for you? You really should speak to your attorney and if he or she doesnt beleive your case had any more worth then what you have claimed, Im sure he or she would be happy to have other attorneys review it and protect his or her lien on the case.
