my lawyer sent an amount in a demand letter without discussin the amount with me.

John Bisnar Assuming that "the information" you need is the information that would lead you to the value of your case and the strategy of the amount of your "demand", your best source is to sit down with your attorney and go over the file, the damages, the settlement value of your case, the jury value range of your case and the demand amount strategy.   Your attorney may be doing a very good job and the demand is excellently thought out.  On the other hand, the opposite could be true. Meet with your attorney and go over your questions and concerns.  Ask the questions that will produce the information you are seeking.  If you are not satisfied, you can then take the information you were provided to get additional opinions.
