Please, don not post in all caps as it is considered "yelling" on the internet. It also makes it somewhat difficult to read your post. TY.

Sorry Blue and what is TOS? I'm new, and Thank you 4 the advice.

 

[Just Blue]

It's OK. The "TOS" is the Terms of Service for this site. That is my signature line and appears in all of my postings. Although you should read the ToS, it is not directed specifically at you.

How did you find out that mediation had already taken place?

This is serious misconduct by the attorney.

So you say he went to the mediation without you and "begone" mediating without you. Does this mean you weren't notified, didn't go at all, or does this mean you were, perhaps, late or didn't arrive before the mediation began, but then were there for some of it?

Also, do you believe that if you had been able to present your own "evidents" it would've changed the outcome of the mediation? What did your attorney say was the reason he didn't allow that particular evidence to be presented or why he didn't present this evidence?

You say you "ended up settling" so apparently you agreed to the settlement, but now later have changed your mind and decided to second guess the way your attorney handled the mediation. Is this the case?

Please, OP, try to use some semblance of a sentence with punctuation.

So I think if I understand your last post, you knew the time and date, but didn't know the location. When you asked your attorney where the mediation was to be held, what did he say?

And you say you "ended up settling". Commentator asked you about the settlement -- did you settle? If so, why do you think you can change your mind now?

[/ To Whom it may concern, I really apologize for my communication my PC has been compromised and I'm working on a new phone that my wife just purchased for me and I have'nt allowed myself time to learn functionalities of the hardware and software,

I was wondering is there's a easier way of communicating on this site I would love to explain the entire fraud of a situation to any person that could possibly point me in the right direction are even a somewhat verbal discussion there a lot to explain to make sure it's understood thank you, I'll be checking back about every 15min the rest of the night. Thank , MERRY XMAS 2!! EVERYONE !!

If your phone gets to working correctly, explain the questions I asked. DID YOU, at the time agree to settle? Did you attend any part of the mediation?

 

[Shadowbunny]

OP, in the time you typed out your last reply you could have simply answered the question: Did you agree to settle? That's a yes or no question.

Same with commentator's second question: Did you attend any part of the mediation?

The fact that you're not answering those two questions tells me the answer to both is "yes." Which means you have no other option. You can't go back now and try to undo what you've already done.

And no one is going to agree to any other forms of communication on this forum. If you want more personalized advice, please seek the services of an attorney near you who can review all documentation.
