This is smelly. The legal/illegal split is not the key; but do not sign a stipulation waiving rights: it might be enforceable.
If this is in the five boros of New York City or the adjoining counties (Nassau and Westchester) I may be able to help you. Affordably: the initial conference carries no charge at all and my hourly rate will surprise you.
