My attorney made a settlement in my personal injury. Without my knowledge and consent They left a message on my phone stating when I can come in and sign the check. Now there is no time to file for a trial. I was still giving them medical information of current treatments. Now what can I do

It would be very unusual for an attorney to be able to finalize a settlement without his/her client's signature (or voluntary statement in open court). I think the attorney is probably going to ask you to sign a settlement agreement. If you don't agree with the settlement, don't isgn it and dont' take the check. If your attorney has actually finalized a settlement without your knowledge or consent, you can sue your attorney, but you will have to prove that you would have received more had you not settled, which may be very tough to do. You can also bring a disciplinary complaint against your attorney with the bar.
