Re: settling a case
No. If it is a true mediation, it cannot be settled without your signature on the agreement.
Re: settling a case
No. Remember, the attorney works for you and as such must have your approval to resolve your case. Obviously there are always exceptions to any general rule and I speak only in generalities as you have not provided any facts about your case. If you have any specific questions please feel free to contact me, Pasquale Calcagno, Esq. of Calcagno & Associates at 1(800)WE-FIGHT for a free consultation or visit our lawfirm website for informative information and resources at www.ny-injurylawyer.com. Thank you.
Re: settling a case
No, an attorney must have prior approval to settle a case. However, an attorney can't even head to mediation unless they have prior approval. So you need to speak with your attorney to see why he thought he had authority
