Is there a statute or rule of civil procedure in NY which states the circumstances under which a plaintiff can retract a settlement agreement?
I reluctantly agreed to a settlement and later found the attorney misrepresented issues to me and could have presented a better case.I wrote an authorization but did not sign a binding stipulation. What are my options?

You have to be a little more exact. You did not sign a stipulation? Then to what and to whom did you make an agreement? And how long ago was this? Have you collected any money? What do you mean you "wrote an authorization"? An authorization for what? I'd love to help, but need these answered b4, I can. Thanks.
