I filed a suit for wrongful termination, retaliation, and discrimination against my former employer. Barely after serving my former employer, their attorney reached out to me to discuss settlement. While, I am open to settlement, I am not sure if I will lose any leverage. My lawyer told me I have a solid case and the amount I am seeking is in the high six figures. Is worth meeting with their attorneys to discuss settlement options?

Always worth it to hear out the settlement offer, just know that they will lowball to start

Thanks! I agree. They will probably lowball me at first, but I'll see what they say. Initially, they wanted me to bring my evidence and discuss my claim with them but I turned that down, I know I have leverage, and I going to play it to my advantage.

They will want to settle. Going to court would be a reputational risk and they’ll do anything to stay out of the headlines.

Eventually you’ll likely settle. Keep in mind that the full process to take them to court takes years and a lot of money. Might as well start negotiating. If it is way too low obviously keep pushing on…

C&F question: any attorneys here with a DUI conviction on your record? If so, did you have any issues clearing Character & Fitness in a new jurisdiction?

Obviously, this is an extremely regrettable event, and will make that clear to C&F, along with post-DUI progress.

Curious if anyone else here went through something similar.
