What is arbitration?

Along with mediation, arbitration is a type of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). In arbitration, you and the other party present evidence and your side of the story before a neutral third party. Our lawyer, Robert M. Lubin, serves as this neutral third party. Each party is given a fair chance to present their case, and the neutral third party comes to a decision regarding the dispute. Generally, arbitrators have a high level of sophistication in certain areas of law. Mr. Lubin has been practicing law since 1973 and has significant knowledge of many areas including employment law, probate and business law.

Types of arbitration

The Law Offices of Robert M. Lubin can explain the differences between the two types of arbitration, which are as follows:

• Binding: In binding arbitration, you relinquish your right to go to court if you believe the decision made by the arbitrator is unfavorable. You have no right to appeal-unless there has been fraud on the part of the arbitrator-and the decision is final.
    
• Non-binding: In non-binding arbitration, the arbitrator makes an advisory opinion regarding the dispute. Decisions can be taken to court and appealed.

Advantages of arbitration

Arbitration is a viable alternative to expensive and time-consuming litigation. The neutral third party generally reaches a decision in a timely manner, and the cost is generally far less that litigation. The disputing parties also obtain peace of mind, rather than worry over the conflict.
