Arbitration Is an Efficient Legal Process

Regarding “Buyer Regrets Agreeing to Binding Arbitration” by Robert J. Bruss, May 5: I personally was involved in an arbitration case, which turned out very favorable, and I found the arbitrator to be logical and fair to both parties.
The major risk in a jury trial is the irrational and unpredictable decisions of people. Evidence can be presented with high odds of winning, only to result in a jury making an opposite decision.
Winning at Las Vegas has better odds than winning at a jury trial. An arbitrator at least has the background, experience and education in the legal process.
Arbitration is the most efficient legal process, especially when considering the cost of attorneys, time and legal proceedings. Having the right to appeal only compounds the problem. Attorneys are the only winners in litigation.
