The only thing worse than getting beat up, is getting beat up by the one who is supposed to protect you. You are not alone. When you are let down by the person in whom you placed your utmost Trust, you need a very special kind of representation. I have Decades of experience aggressively dealing with attorneys from all areas of practice.

- Q. If Attorney/Client have a valid Arbitration Clause between them in California, can the case be heard at a private forum?
- A: Typically, the Arbitration clause itself describes the terms of the Arbitration, however, whether it does or not, the parties can agree on any terms they want, including waiving the Arbitration Clause altogether.

For example, if your brother, mother, or even your wife fails to repay a loan, or accidentally runs over your foot, you would sue in Civil Court.
