American Arbitration & Mediation Organization

What is Arbitration?

Arbitration is a faster, simpler, and less expensive alternative to a lawsuit. Disputes are brought before a neutral third party (the arbitrator) who, after carefully reviewing all of the relevant information, issues a final decision. It may favor one of the parties or the decision may affect both parties. Consumers, businesses and government departments-even courts themselves-have successfully used arbitration programs to resolve disputes, and there is a pervasive satisfaction with the process. Arbitration offers parties a decisive legal outcome to their dispute without the expense and inconvenience of court proceedings and attorney fees.

AAMO's Mission

To offer an alternative to litigation by providing a fair, just and efficient method of settling disagreements between consumers and business.

We strive to make the arbitration process as simple and clear for parties as possible. Arbitrations are governed by specific, clearly-stated rule sets, and they are decided by trained professionals and experienced laypeople.
