Home / Resources / About Arbitration
The Hayes Law Firm, P.C. focuses on
securities arbitration.
Arbitration is a very unique area. Presenting a case to a panel of arbitrators is very different than trying a case to a jury. Also, the rules for arbitration are different than the rules in court. That's why we spend all of our time just doing arbitrations. That's why we can offer you exceptional representation in this highly specialized area.
To see what it would look like to file an arbitration case, open the Adobe Acrobat .pdf below. You will see a "form" document that is called a "Statement of Claim." This document would be prepared, based on the facts of your case and filed with the NASD. This starts the arbitration process.
