 "In drafting a settlement agreement, the devil is in the details." - Pete Wright
Settling a case avoids the delay, expense, uncertainty, and emotional strain associated with litigation. A settlement agreement offers more flexibility in crafting a remedy.
Yet few agreements are more complex than settlement agreements.
A well-crafted settlement agreement can be very effective in resolving disputes and allowing the parties to move forward. A poorly-crafted agreement can create new problems, and lead to even more litigation.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate learn about settlement agreements and get a sample agreement in Demystifying Settlement Agreements. Read about the tough questions in the Jarron Draper case ... and the outcome from Jarron's attorneys.
Please don't hesitate to forward this issue to friends, family members, or colleagues.
