There is no guilt attached to a negotiated settlement. It is a simple and practical way to resolve this issue, allowing a client to put the case behind them as quickly as possible. We support the course of action decided upon by our clients, whether that is to fight the case through the court system or settle and move on. Both options have merit and we are experts in delivering successfully on either option.
When faced with this choice our clients appreciate our candid assessment of each course of action available. Once again, ignoring these choices will likely result in a summary judgment against them. A client must decide what the best outcome for them will be. Some people need to fight the case and we are the number 1 law firm in the country with cases won at court against Strike 3 Holdings. Other clients who are not totally certain of their innocence, or who don’t want to spend potentially years fighting through the huge procedural process and accept the impact this will have on their lives, or expose themselves to the costs of a court case, choose to settle out of court.
This is different from an undefended settlement where the individual will accept paying the settlement demands of Strike 3, without having the benefit of counsel to negotiate on their behalf. The purpose of a negotiated settlement is to release our client from any obligations brought from the prosecution, clearing their name and minimizing the settlement value. It is also a major part of the negotiated settlement to enable our clients to move past this predicament quickly and effectively, leaving them free to move on.
