Re: how do i settle out of court
Do you have a lawyer? Each case turns on its facts. What happened and the motivation of the parties to settle. If it is going to trial many want to avoid the time and expense. What have the offered? There are no real how too books. I have handled thousands over the years. I would need a lot more information.
