The State Bar's Fee Dispute Resolution Program is a program for resolving fee disputes between an attorney and a client, between clients with out-of-state attorneys, or between attorneys. All parties must voluntarily agree to participate.
What is Fee Arbitration?
Fee Arbitration is a voluntary process. The arbitrator or arbitration panel conducts an informal hearing where the parties tell their sides of the story. The arbitrators then make a decision and issue a written award. The award is binding for both sides.
Can I mediate a Fee Dispute?
Yes. The State Bar offers parties the option to participate in a less formal Fee Mediation process. Mediation is a nonbinding process in which parties work with a mediator to seek a mutually agreeable outcome.
How much does it cost?
The filing fee for all amounts in dispute is $26.
