Michael, I was one of the "named plaintiffs" in the lawsuit. Between the COPP attorneys and the big buck judicial mediator I was led to believe that if we did not agree to the mediated settlement that the litigation could drag out for months or years, cost vast amounts of money and there was a good chance we would not gain anymore; or even lose the suit and wind up with nothing. I'm a retired healthcare professional, not an attorney. The advice of the lawyers and the mediator was to accept the settlement.
