Can plaintiffs sue an atty for malpractice for unacceptable Settlement

[1Paddler]

A judge ruled against the 14th amendment and a few others, when he threw out our Takings in a lawsuit that arose from man-made error, then changed to natural erosion, for the cause of a dam removal that failed and the dam broke and an entire lake above it drained down the river and flooded our neighborhood with 4' white water waves, causing massive destruction to our homes. Government agencies going way up the ladder were guilty of changing specifications to meet what the "dam' people wanted, changed allowable levels of arsenic to be on/in our grounds. People completely lost their homes, and damages were MAJOR, let alone the PTSD that was experienced by many to see the medium flow turn in to high water, very fast turbity, and still full of all the toxic muck in our lands and in the river. Our attys tried their best but were not able to succeed at any motions. or anything for that matter. We were 2 years waiting, and under duress, we agreed to numbers so low it was pennies on the dollar if that, without having seen the written Settlement agreement. They are holding the verbal ok to the cash, unless we sign an unconstitutional agreement that lets EVERY guilty party to this, listing them all, and they were not who we were suing. It also takes away all our rights, another unconstitutional thing being forced on us. What should we do?

Sign the paper, get the money, or don't sign the paper, don't get the money.

You do whatever you decide to do. You sign, you get paid. You refuse to sign, you get nothing.

You are free to attempt to sue anyone you decide has wronged you.

Hire another attorney, or bring your own lawsuit to litigate your concerns.

Your call.

If you are signing your agreement, it isn't taking away any rights. You have the option to make the agreement or not. Your choice.

Hire another lawyer to appeal if you feel the settlement to low and the law ignored. Note it will not likely change the outcome and will cost a lot more money.
