Arbitration is an effective technique for resolving disputes - whether personal injury matters or divorce - outside the courts.  Many contracts between employers and employees or between vendors and buyers now include arbitration clauses, which mandate that disputes be resolved by arbitration (thereby precluding protracted litigation in the courts).

In an arbitration, the parties refer their dispute to one or more people (the "arbitrators") by whose decision (the "award") they agree to be bound.  The third party's decision of the case imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides.

George J. West & Associates has successfully resolved several matters via arbitration thereby avoiding the anxiety-provoking and more costly route of litigation.

Attorney George J. West successfully settled a large slip-and-fall case through the December 2009 R.I. Superior Court arbitration program.  The case settled for a large sum and our client who suffered a permanent injury was especially helpful.  The settlement was effectively negotiated by Attorney West based on the client's serious injuries.  If you have been injured or suffered injuries, Attorney West will help you obtain a fair and just settlement.
