Hi all,
In all the forums I have been on I have never come across this. I got a call from my attorney today telling me that he talked to the judge in my case and the judge told him he was willing to give me a fully favorable decision if I would agree to move my on set date from May of 2014 to July 1, 2015. The judge stated that he was not comfortable with my on set date because I quit work on a Friday and filed on a Monday. He stated that I should have waited at least one year after quitting to file to show that my condition had lasted more than a year and was expected to last another year or result in death. I asked my attorney what would happen if I would not accept that deal and he said most likely the judge would deny my claim. So of course I took the deal. It rather feels like I plead guilty to second degree murder instead of first degree murder in exchange for a lighter sentence. But I am happy with the results.
My attorney is sending me something to sign, then he will send it to the judge to sign, then it will finally be over. Yeah! This has been a long time coming.
