Your lawyer robbed you, unless you consider your piece of mind for thinking that relieves your liability when in fact it doesn't. I've seen many a lawsuit won against places like skating rinks where they have similar disclosures and signs everywhere. The only real benefit to them is that most people think they are legally binding. "Enter at your own risk" does not relieve you of premise liability claims no matter how iron clad you think that release is and I doubt your lawyer would represent you for free if one of your friend's children drowned while swimming in your pool, even though he wrote the release. In reality your homeowner's insurance company would be defending the claim with their own lawyers and you would need to hope like hell you had adequate coverage for any verdict or settlement. I've dealt with some of the best plaintiff's lawyers in the country and signed releases and warnings are the smallest hurdles to get around. As I said, if that release gives you peace of mind, even if only perceived, or scares someone from suing you, I guess you got your moneys worth.
