The parties involved in the dispute use an arbitrator to come to a binding final resolution. The goal of arbitration is to obtain a fair resolution by using a neutral party.  By using an experienced arbitrator in Los Angeles, you’ll find your dispute resolution to be efficient, private, convenient, flexible, and final.
