lawyer forged a signature?

BTW,
Of utmost importance, even if a document was signed up front, authorizing such a settlement at the attorney's discretion, if said settlement came after being notified he was being replaced, I believe counsel has himself an ethical problem as that initial document would no longer apply.
At that juncture, he should have placed a lien for his services via the carriers involved and notified the new counsel.

P.S.
I am not an attorney but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Select (couldn't resist).
