Your atty needs to be very careful about how he approaches settlement. To be honest, he doesn't sound like the most sophisticated atty out there, I think he has given you tons of bad advice/mis-advice/non-advice in this case. Raising the issue of a settlement is a very delicate task. If done with a ham-fist, he can make your situation a lot worse. Your well-funded adversary can very likely smell blood and go for the jugular.

My attorney advised insurance from the outset. I chose not to go that route myself, against his advise.
I will make a offer, and it will be worded in a way that will warn him I am ready to go the entire distance. (because I am ) I will also explore the possibility of a counter suit and I may file it prior to offering a settlement.
I will not loose this case, I am 100% sure I will win. The plaintiff knows this and I honestly think he is banking on me folding. I can take this to the end, I was just a little startled over the fact that it was not a given that I would get my attorney's fees back in the end after I win.
