Re: landlord and tenant

I would listen to my lawyer and take the money and run. Obviously your lawyer has weighed your chances in front of a conservative, Republican, home owner, Westchester County jury and believes that $50,000 is a fair and reasonable settlement. Moreover, your lawyer probably worked very hard to get you that settlement offer, work out your lein, deal with a tight fisted insurance company and honestly speaking deal with your concerns.

And a third of your recovery is the industry standard.
