For consumer arbitration, always try to choose JAMS instead of AAA. JAMS arbitrators tend to charge much more than AAA arbitrators. Many JAMS arbitrators have judicial experience, some even on the federal bench.
In my case, all of the arbitrators proposed by JAMS would have charged over $1000 per hour to resolve my case. Per the contract, all arbitration costs would have been borne by the defendant, so the company was eager to settle and avoid a huge arbitration bill.
- thathndude 4y agoThis guy arbitrates. I’ve done something like 500+ consumer arbitrations in the last 5 years. JAMS tends to result in better outcomes for the consumers. There’s all sorts of reasons for this. If nothing else, JAMS arbitrators tend to be retired judges with experience in the adjudication role. More often than not, AAA arbitrators are just attorneys with 10+ years of experience. And, well, let’s just say 10 years of experience as an attorney does not automatically make a person competent.
