You have an attorney and should listen to him/her. If you
are unhappy with your attorney's advice or don't trust
him/her; get another attorney.

Asking a law student chat board for advice when you have an
attorney is very foolish. Giving advice to a person who has
an attorney would be even more foolish. Good luck.
