Portland, TN asked in Arbitration / Mediation Law for Tennessee

Q: Prose respondent being crushed in an unfair arbitration. Is there a legitimate motion that can be filed in any court?

I am disabled, been through many recent surgeries and I have the final hearing coming up next week. The arbitrator is horribly conflicted with the opposing attorney. Is there a motion I can file in the original county court, or even federal to not only slow this train, but also bring attention as to what's happening to me - at least until my finances recover enough to hire representation? Any prudent thinking person would be SHOCKED upon hearing the full story. But for now I need to make sure my legal fee savings stay my bank account a few more months. I have no idea what to do.

A: Yes, you probably need to file a motion, but unfortunately it appears that it would be best done by an attorney.
