I totally disagree with the previous response. First of all, this is a California case and any professional misconduct is governed by the State Bar of California. Second, it appears that you may have been unrepresented. If so, opposing counsel has heightened ethical obligations in dealing with you. Third, there are a number of theories that will allow you to rescind this agreement, e.g., if there was duress, if the agreement was an adhesion contract because one party had superior power, resources, etc. Finally, before any attorney can properly advise you, he/she needs to know more about the agreement, the context in which an agreement was reached, etc. Contact me if you wish to pursue the matter.
