Call his secretary to see if the Settlment check has come in yet. It normally takes 10-15 working days once the defendant receives the settlement paperwork. If it had been a trial, your attorney might have filed a Declaration as to recoverable costs but is a settlement the paties sign the settlement document and the plaintiff files a dismissal with prejudice dismissing the suit.Write your attorney asking about the status of the case. If suit was filed, look at the court web site to see what paperwork has been filed with the court.
