Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the arbitrators?

There are normally three arbitrators. Two of the arbitrators are attorneys who must have a minimum of five years' experience practicing law. The third arbitrator is a non-lawyer public member. In cases in which the disputed amount is $2,500 or less, one lawyer arbitrator may decide the case. All arbitrators serve voluntarily and without payment. These arbitrators decide your case, not the State Bar of Georgia. The role of the State Bar is to facilitate the fee arbitration process by coordination and administration of the program.
