Description: Learn more about Tools to Research Arbitrators. San Jose collections defense attorney Ron Wilcox assists clients throughout California with defense for creditor harassment and collections abuse.
There are a number of resources I like to use to research arbitrators. And of course, it helps to know what you are looking for and what to avoid.
However, having the right arbitrator is just the tip of the iceberg. Proper training in arbitration and experience in successfully arbitrating cases to a final award is essential. As is knowledge of the Federal Arbitration Act, the forum's rules, and relevant authority (some of which I have referenced below). Forced arbitration is not appropriate; but if you think arbitration is a dead end, think again. I, along with various co-counsel, have obtained 7 arbitration awards (in a row) with punitive damages sin
I am happy to talk to any consumer, employment, or plaintiff's lawyer who needs help researching an arbitrator, preparing for arbitration, etc. You can call me direct at (408) 634-2165.
