A law firm sued our client seeking $1.7 million in legal fees. We filed a motion to compel the law firm to submit the fee dispute to binding arbitration as mandated by the court's rules. After the trial court denied our motion, we appealed to the District's highest court. The District's highest court reversed the lower court and ruled, for the first time, that mandatory arbitration between a lawyer and client over a fee dispute is constitutional. The District's highest court opined that a lawyer who voluntarily submits to the D.C. Bar gives up the right to a jury trial over fee disputes with a client. Click below to read the decision.
