Lead Counsel independently verifies Arbitration attorneys in Moulton 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 Moulton 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.
Specialized legal help is available for most legal issues. Each case is unique; seeking legal help is a smart first step toward understanding your legal situation and seeking the best path toward resolution for your case. An experienced lawyer understands the local laws surrounding your case and what your best legal options might be. More importantly, there are certain situations and circumstances – such as being charged with a crime – where you should always seek experienced legal help.
An attorney consultation should provide you with enough information so that you can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with legal help.
Pro se – This Latin term refers to representing yourself in court instead of hiring professional legal counsel. Pro se representation can occur in either criminal or civil cases.
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.
