Find out if arbitration could save you thousands

Question 1 of 5
What state are you in?
First step: respond to the lawsuit

You have a short deadline to file a response, or the court can enter a default judgment against you. The free Answer tool builds a state-specific Answer, with your defenses, that you review and file.

Next: Create a Motion to Compel Arbitration

If you decide arbitration is right for your case, you can use the free tool to assemble a state-specific Motion to Compel that you review, complete, and file. The tool fills in a template based on the information you enter—it doesn't decide anything for you.

This is general information, not legal advice. ARBITRATE is not a law firm and is not a substitute for an attorney. The summary above describes general patterns, not a recommendation about your specific case. Only you can decide how to handle your situation, and a licensed attorney in your state is the right person to advise you on it.

What Happens Next

  1. You generate the motion - Pick your state and enter your case details; the tool fills in the template
  2. You read through it - Review the document and make sure it fits your situation
  3. You attach your agreement - Add your cardholder agreement as Exhibit A and quote the arbitration clause
  4. You file or respond - If you choose to, file the completed motion with your court
