-**Holding out hope for a settlement**: Even without his client being served Alec Peters’ legal complaint, Robert Meyer Burnett’s attorney, Torin A. Dorros says it’s "not unreasonable" to pursue "early resolution" of their legal dispute.+===== Hope for a Settlement? =====
  
-  * **‘Unconscionably one-sided’**: The settlement offer, which Peters described as "[[:sweetheart_deal|a sweetheart deal]]," instead features several provisions "that simply do not work … from a legal perspective, leaving aside that they may be unconscionably [[:settlement_analysis#one-sided_settlement|one-sided]]." +Even without his client being served Peters’ legal complaint, Burnett’s attorney said it’s "not unreasonable" to pursue "early resolution" of the former colleagues' legal dispute.((Letter from Torrin Dorros to H. Michael Dever, 3/1/19.))
-  * **Drastic revisions required**: While Burnett may well show interest in the idea of Peters releasing all claims against him for no monetary payment, the document Peters sent needs to be "drastically revise[d] … to make it suitable as a settlement agreement." +
-  * **Burnett’s potential damages may be worth more**: Burnett may pursue various high-value claims against Peters and Axanar for wage and other employment issues, as well as Peters infringing on Burnett’s copyrighted works, Dorros states: +
-—-+
  
-“Mr. Burnett’s claims against Mr. Peters far outweigh the Axanar claims. We will need to discuss whether a monetary ‘walk away’ for both sides makes sense or whether some financial compensation will be required to be made by Mr. Peters and/or Axanar Productions.”+==== 'Unconscionably One-sided' ====

 +== A Subtle Jab == 
 + 
 +Dorros’ letter takes some jabs at Peters litigating "the majority of issues and information related to the Axanar project … on social media and other public forums." That very behavior led his longtime advisor and [[:bawden_resigns|PR director to resign]]. 
 + 
 +=== ‘We’ll get back to you’ === 
 + 
 +Dorros promises a more thorough review of Peters’ settlement, and will "get back to you in due course with comments and/or revisions if Mr. Burnett is agreeable to look toward resolution at this time."
