Lead Counsel independently verifies Arbitration attorneys in Fort Mitchell and checks their standing with Alabama bar associations.
Our Verification Process and CriteriaA cost-effective alternative to settle a dispute without a trial is arbitration. Disputes are resolved by an impartial third party, who presides over an arbitration hearing at which each side presents its case. The arbitrator is chosen by the participants, who agree to accept the arbitrators’ decision.
You may enter arbitration without legal counsel, but using a Fort Mitchell lawyer to help you prepare for the hearing can make a difference in the outcome. The lawyer can review the legalities of the dispute, guide you through the arbitration procedure, and prepare the terms of arbitration and other documents.
No matter what your legal issue may be, it is always best to seek legal help early in the process. An attorney can help secure what is likely to be the best possible outcome for your situation and avoid both unnecessary complications or errors.
For most consumer legal issues, the size of the practice is much less important than the experience, competence, and reputation of the attorney(s) handling your case. Among the most important factors when choosing an attorney are your comfort level with the attorney or practice and the attorney’s track record in bringing about quick, successful resolutions to cases similar to yours.

Statute – Refers to a law created by a legislative body. For example, the laws enacted by Congress are statutes.
Subject matter jurisdiction – Requirement that a particular court have authority to hear the claim based on the specific type of issue brought to the court. For example, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court only has subject matter jurisdiction over bankruptcy filings, therefore it does not have the authority to render binding judgment over other types of cases, such as divorce.
