If you push a check across the table and tell her she can walk out with the money, she will probably take it. will not want her to in all probability, but it lets him off the hook if she demands it. If Critton does not know about it until the last minute, he cannot screw it up on purpose. Better yet, have 2 checks; one with her name and one to Brad's law practice. Offer the one with her name on it first. When they go apoplectic, show the other one and say they can have either check. Brad does not want it to be in her name becaue then he has to take $ away from her rather than make her sign a settlement agreement with him for her to get her amount. What the hell do you care? If it creates the same working environment between and her that exists for you and Critton, so much the better, especially if it does not settle. This girl is a concrete thinker. Until she sees the money, it is not real, but once she does... Also, if it does not settle, she will think about the fact she gave up money in front of her and this increases the chance she will cave before trial. I think the reason Critton discourages it is because it might work. EFTA_R1_01472082 EFTA02411009
