Re: Settlement testimony

The question is not specific. It partly depends on when the settlement negotiations occurred and the substance of the statements. Second, if evidence is mistakenly entered at trial, you can appeal the court's decision as opposed to a mistrial. If you need further help, you can email me at [email protected].
