While the lawyer's responsibility is to give you his suggestion of what the best course of action is, you ultimately decide how you want to proceed.

If you don't want to settle and would rather go to trial, tell your lawyer this.

The attorney may accept your decision and go to trial, but if he does not, you can find another attorney who will represent you in trial. Remember you can change attorneys at any time but you may be responsible for paying your original attorney for work he has already performed.
