Each side presents their evidence and argument to the arbitrator, then the arbitrator decides. The decision then is filed with the local court -- just like a court judgment would be filed, and if the arbitrator ordered one party to pay the other, then if not paid, legal remedies for collection are available. Check with the specific arbitration service that the BBB is recommending. Each arbitration service has its own set of rules.

But solutions to legal problems depend on all the specific facts of a situation, and it is not possible to cover all the facts and issues on . If you would like to obtain specific legal advice about your issue, you must contact a local attorney who is licensed to practice law in your state. Mr. Jaap is licensed to practice law in Ohio. He and his law firm gladly accept new clients, but they cannot accept any representation until they confirm that it will not create a conflict of interest with their existing client relationships and obtain a signed representation agreement. Accordingly, do not send them any confidential information unless and until they have confirmed their representation of you in writing.
