What cases are good for arbitration?

If your case involves factors like privacy concerns, the need for a quicker resolution, or the desire to avoid a public jury trial, arbitration might be an ideal solution. However, if you're worried about the finality of the arbitrator's decision or the potential for bias, you might prefer the traditional court route.

How does arbitration work in Massachusetts?

Arbitration is less formal than court, though you and the other party may appear at an arbitration hearing, present evidence, or call and question each other's witnesses. An arbitrator or panel makes a decision or award once you've presented your case. The decision is legally binding.
