Snays’ attys likely didn’t stress that. They knew that the Snays had a near-adult child who knew about the lawsuit. They should have said, “we need to get this clause out otherwise you can’t even tell your d that the issue is settled or concluded. And that’s just not reasonable.”

<p>

but it’s ridiculous for plaintiffs to act as if a settlement and/or agreement was never reached.

</p>

<p>And that’s the part where I felt apprenticeprof had a fair point and why I was a bit surprised to see the non-disclosure clause written with the language to bar even mentioning that the case was settled. </p>

<p>

However, my gut tells me that it’s not likely it was explained in such a way. And, it would seem that a smart atty would realize that such a situation wasn’t workable.

</p>

<p>However, not every attorney is necessarily smart…or even competent. There are some who are slackers and/or are incompetent…such as the case of lawyers who sleep or are otherwise inattentive during the court hearing when they’re supposed to defend and counsel their clients. </p>
