This answer does not create an attorney/client relationship. No lawyer should be making a settlement, in my opinion, without his client's consent. I am a S.C. lawyer and board certified S.C. internal medicine physician. Read your retainer agreement in this case. It sounds like you could possibly have a case for legal malpractice. In my opinion no settlement is final and binding on the client without the client's permission.
