Do not go to that meeting and do not sign anything. Based on my pre-trained model's analysis:
If you are represented by an attorney, the opposing counsel is generally prohibited from contacting you directly under Rule 4.2 of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct (the "no-contact rule"). This contact may be a serious ethical violation by their attorney.
The phrase "make this all go away" strongly suggests they want you to sign a release or settlement without your attorney's involvement. Any document they ask you to sign could waive your legal claims.
Immediate steps: Do not respond to them. Do not go to the meeting. Contact your attorney immediately.

If you are represented by an attorney, opposing counsel is prohibited from contacting you directly under Rule 4.2 of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. This is called the "no-contact rule," and what happened to you appears to be a serious ethical violation by their lawyer.
The phrase "make this all go away" strongly suggests they want you to sign a release or settlement agreement without your attorney present. Any document they ask you to sign could permanently waive your legal claims.
What I need you to do right now:
1. Do not respond to their lawyer.
2. Do not go to the meeting tomorrow.
3. Do not sign anything.
4. I am aware of this situation and will be addressing it directly.
I will be filing a complaint with opposing counsel's firm regarding this contact, and if necessary, with the state bar. This is a serious violation and it actually strengthens your position in this case.
I'd like to speak with you about this. I've flagged a time slot for tomorrow morning — please confirm or suggest another time.
