問關於律師費用問題？

明尼蘇達官司打了一年有餘.

final trial 之前

1. 律師建議我不用出一分錢，律師建議給對方的協議也是這樣的。
2. 律師告訴我，如果我有額外證據不能法庭當天才出，法庭當天出示的證據是不於采納的。
3. 庭審已推遲兩次，因對方不同意協商, 所以這次決心由法官評定

final trial 之中

無庭審，雙方律師變協商。對方拿出8杆子打不著的證據（律師一直說有沒有都和這案子沒關係，但對我來說確是很隱私的事）要我簽協議。我一直信任我的律師，就簽了協議。

結果

這個協議我實際損失8萬。我認為我的律師失職。

I was always told that a agreement is better settled if one thinks that it would be a better result than a trial. I was never told or even given a hint that this would be a better deal than a trial. This was always what the respondent asked for. The attorney offered 1000 discount, but it's very trivial considering the entire case caused me 20,000. I do not want to pay for the remaining 6000 because of the loss of the battle in such an unacceptable way.

Any professional input in this case is greatly appreciated. thanks
