Learn More About what Attorney Anderson Can do For You

Arbitration can be voluntary or involuntary and is a binding procedure. Many private contracts include "arbitration provisions," which require arbitration of a dispute, either as a condition before filing a lawsuit or as a final resolution. In Deschutes County, cases seeking $50,000.00 or less are required to go through arbitration. Arbitration is like a mini-trial, with the arbitrator (sometimes a panel of three arbitrators) making a final decision.

The benefits of mediation and arbitration include privacy and an expedited resolution. In the event of private arbitration or mediation, there is no need to file a lawsuit and no publication of the case caption in the local newspaper. A good arbitrator can tailor the procedure to fit the parties' specific needs. A prompt, final arbitration decision can allow the parties to return to their normal, productive lives.
