How much will I pay for Fee Arbitration?

Nothing in client/attorney disputes. The Fee Arbitration Program is a free public service of the State Bar of Georgia offered to attorneys and their former clients; however, if appeals, subsequent litigation or collection actions are required after an arbitration is concluded and an award is issued, the parties bear their own expense for such additional litigation.

Attorneys who file a joint petition for Fee Arbitration for Attorneys or Law Firms are offered up to eight hours of arbitration free for the specific dispute. A modest hourly fee, divided equally between the attorney/law firm parties, is assessed after eight hours of arbitration.
