If you were my attorney I'd want you to fight FOR the release - in my favor but it sounds like you'd just fold. Nice.
Its not about folding. Its about how much do you want to pay. I would give you the same advice. If you said I that you didnt agree, I could argue both sides of the issue but one is going to cost you $50,000+ in fees no matter the result and the other costs you $3k and the issue is resolved.

I tend to be an attorney that looks at my client's bottom line and costs first. It usually doesnt make sense to get emotional about money. And this is what litigation is all about. Better to make smart business decisions then emotional money decisions.

But if everyone mad smart business decisions and could resolve issues without threats of litigation I would be unemployed.
