A: You might be able to appeal the decision of the arbitrator, if you do so in a timely manner. Judges and arbitrators quite often make factual and legal errors, suffer from bias, or simply don't pay attention to facts. It may be worth it to you to appeal, or not - depending on what you're up against. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
