Only if the client timely requests it.
Re: Small Claims Attorney-Client Fee Dispute Arbitration A Must
Under California law, an attorney may not pursue a lawsuit to recover a fee for legal services unless the client is given a written notice of right to arbitrate thirty days in advance of any hearing. If the client elects to arbitrate, the attorney must arbitrate before continuing the action. The mandatory arbitration is non-binding, however. Thus the attorney may continue with the lawsuit, even if the client wins the arbitration. If you wish to know more, please visit our website @www.labusinesslawyer.com
