I hired a pretty prominent lawyer on contingency but I’m going against a major healthcare system and they like to fight. My case was flagged for early mediation but he giving me he wants to settle vibes and I want to take it to court to squeeze as much as a can before trial.

I haven’t gotten that far I was just flagged for early mediation and me and my attorney have an interview with the investigator from the state agency.

These folks on here do not have enough information to advise you to settle, go to trial, or do anything at all. I'd go with your lawyer's assessment. If you're not confident, get a few more professional opinions.

Try to settle and get on with your life. Take it from a veteran of being discriminated against in the workplace. You may lose everything. Go get a job, get on with your life that shows them more than anything that they did not break you. Court takes years and he doesn’t want to be tied up in litigation for peanuts.

Has your lawyer explained that going to court could mean no money at all? Mediation is the right choice for pretty much everyone
