lawyer forged a signature?

we are still waiting to hear back again. we just found out this morning so we are waiting to figure out if it was a miss-communication between the two lawyers. i'll keep you guy posted. if he did there will be major trouble for him. i reviewed her contract and none of it gives him the authority to settle without her permission.

there has not been a check yet, either and he was discharged like 3 weeks ago.
