A: If you knowingly entered into a Compromise and Release Agreement to fully resolve your claim there is very little a lawyer will be able to do other than enforce the terms of that agreement. There is no harm in asking a lawyer to review the agreement and testimony to see if there is an error that can be exploited, but I would not be overly optimistic on this possibility.
