Arbitrators are compensated $250.00 for their services in each case. If a party requests three arbitrators then each arbitrator shall be compensated $100.00 for services. The fees shall be paid by the courts, and parties are not responsible for the arbitration fees.

If the arbitration award is non-binding, you may have a right to a new trial in court. At the trial, you will have the opportunity to present evidence to a judge who will issue a new decision about the fee dispute without regard to the arbitration award.

The parties file a written consent form that submits the case to binding arbitration. The parties must also submit a consent order of dismissal with prejudice. This means that the court case is dismissed and the parties will abide by the arbitrator's decision.

Costs. Arbitration is generally less expensive than litigation, which is often criticized for the time and expense of pretrial discovery. As such, it's significant that with a few exceptions, arbitration limits discovery.

The filing fee to a court is usually a one-time, upfront cost in the range of $100-200. By comparison, arbitration filing fees are $750 or more, with ongoing administrative costs, plus the cost of an arbitrator at a daily or hourly rate, in addition to the cost of your own lawyers and experts.

By law, mandatory fee arbitration cannot help you recover damages or offset expenses incurred for the attorney's misconduct or malpractice. If the arbitrator determines that the attorney's malpractice or professional misconduct reduced the value of legal services provided, the arbitrator can reduce the attorney's fees.
