Accept offer from defendant

WA

My attorney negotiated a settlement,but he had to withdraw due to some issues. After this withdrawal, defendant made another offer. I have another lawyer who would have continued the lawsuit, but he has not yet made an appearance.

My question is whether it is possible for me to personally accept the offer (without the lawyer)? If so, what would be the procedure? Can the defendant renege on the offer?

Thanks for your help!

If you are truly 'without counsel' (has the court accepted the original attorney withdrawal in WRITING), then you can handle your case as you want. This includes negotiating a settlement and accepting it.

Yes. The offer can be withdrawn at anytime UP to the time that you sign it. Once it is signed by both parties, it becomes valid and binding.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

Thank you - I understand.

Is there any specific format to use when accepting an offer?

You could start with "That is acceptable to me".
Then you can sign it.
