If you had expenses that you paid, that should be netted out of your salary. If he wants you whole salary then let him assume responsibility for your debt as well.
c. This also makes sense to me. Once a settlement is reached the trial is just where the judge affirms the settlement. So your presence would be more necessary at the settlement confernece then the trial.
If you have any doubts about what an attorney tells you ask them to cite the law or case law that justifies what they are telling you. Then check it out yourself.
But if you have lost confidence in your legal representation its probably best to change.
