A: You have asked no question so it is difficult to know what you seek by posting here. No one here can respond to your post with an interest in taking your case, and it is impossible to know based on the limited information in your post whether you were getting good advice or not from your attorney.

Good luck to you.

A: If you do not trust your attorney's advice, then you should hire a lawyer to review the file and get a second opinion. It is impossible to give meaningful advice based on the brief overview provided. Cases and settlement are very fact specific and require detailed knowledge.

A: Case evaluation is made based on the specific facts of your case and evidence supporting those facts. Based on the information you have provided, without reviewing the specifics and the supporting evidence, no attorney can advise you whether $85K accurately represents the evaluation of your case. If you believe your attorney is not assessing your case correctly, you can get a second opinion from an employment law attorney.
