What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?Alabama,I have a lawsuit pending for wrongful termination,I have already went through all the depositions except one,it's the owner of the company's wife, she owns 49% of the company,my lawyer said he did not want to incur anymore expenses.
First he told me it was going to be a jury trail and all I needed was a witness, now I have a witness and he want even talk to him.
Now the company is wanting to settle for not even 10% of my lost wages and he said if I did not take it that they would ask for a summary judgment.
I asked my Lawyer what that was and he said that we had to go before the judge, and he would decide if I could have a jury trail or not.
He said more than likely he would dismiss the case,and that's what the company is betting on , and thats why they want to settle the case.
Is it true that the judge decides jury trail or not, or is he just jerking me around
