Re: What to do?
I would say that is one of the few situations which might give you relief from an arb award. The question is whether the time ran before or after the lawyer died. If it ran before, then you are stuck and you only have a malpractice claim against his estate if you wanted to recject. If it occurred after he died, then you have a reasonable argument for overturning the award. In either situation, you need to consult with an attorney.
I would be happy to discuss this with you if you are interested, you can reach me by e-mail or at 800 - 34 - NJ - LAW. Best wishes.

THINK! Does it make sense you would be damaged in some way because your attorney died? Of course not, but you had an attorney, you need an attorney, so why are you asking here - go get an attorney! If you wait too ling, you WILL be stuck!
