Your case has been in litigation for some time now.
As we are approaching a trial date, the defense calls me and makes an offer to settle your case.

Can I tell the defense lawyer that we accept their offer if I believe is appropriate without ever speaking to my client?

Is it ever acceptable for me to settle a case without first talking to my client and getting his consent and approval?

The answer is absolutely NO.

There is no possible way I permitted to ever settle a case without my client's consent and authorization.

The appropriate response to the defense attorney is to thank him for his offer and to let him know that I must first speak to my client in order to discuss and evaluate his offer.

Once my client has made an educated decision, I will be happy to get back to him and let him know his answer.

Then, I can contact my client and have a detailed discussion about the pros and cons and risks and benefits of accepting or rejecting the defense's offer.

We can formulate a strategy of whether or not to accept this offer and whether to make a counteroffer.

Only then, can you make an informed decision about what is appropriate for you and your particular case.

Even though I speak for you, you have the ultimate decision in whether or not to accept a settlement offer.

There have been instances were I will make a recommendation to accept a settlement offer and my client refuses.

On the other hand, there are instances where I recommend not accepting the defense's settlement offer and you decide not to take my best legal advice and instead accept their offer.
