Kenneth Sisco

The only thing worse than getting beat up, is getting beat up by the one who is supposed to protect you. You are not alone. When you are let down by the person in whom you placed your utmost Trust, you need a very special kind of representation. I have Decades of experience aggressively dealing with attorneys from all areas of practice.

• Free Consultation
  I do not charge to get to know each other, and to familiarize myself with your case, in order to decide whether I can benefit you. However, I do not give free legal advice, nor will I provide you, free of charge, with your roadmap to the best result.
• Credit Cards Accepted
• Contingent Fees
  I accept contingent fees if I am certain I can obtain and collect on a judgment. In some cases I accept a hybrid contingency. For example, I would accept one half my usual retainer; I would accept a fee at one half my hourly rate, and a contingency fee of one half my usual percentage.

• Civil Litigation

Q. If Attorney/Client have a valid Arbitration Clause between them in California, can the case be heard at a private forum?

October 18, 2023

A: Typically, the Arbitration clause itself describes the terms of the Arbitration, however, whether it does or not, the parties can agree on any terms they want, including waiving the Arbitration Clause altogether.

Personally, especially, in Legal Malpractice cases, I despise Arbitrations. Usually, arbitrators are retired judges. And what is another term for retired Judge? -- Attorney, with a built-in bias in favor of attorneys.

Even when there is an Arbitration Clause, I almost always file a Complaint in Superior Court, and let the Defendant move the case to Arbitration. Although the Courts favor Arbitration, in my experience, most Judges make the Defendant "dot every 'i' and cross every 't.' " I have had considerable success in avoiding Arbitration. ... Read More
