And, if you lose, you may have to pay the other party's lawyer fees. The courtroom is not always fair. If you don't have the money to hire the 'best experienced lawyer' most likely you may lose.

The difference between Mediation and Arbitration is straightforward. Hawaii Consumer Mediation is voluntary. The parties mutually agree upon a fair settlement. Arbitration is mandatory. The Arbitrator makes a ruling which is final. Arbitration is similar to court except it is quicker and cheaper. Arbitration clauses are included in many contracts and business agreements. Most complaints and dispute are resolved by voluntary Mediation before enforcing mandatory arbitration clauses. The major disadvantage with Arbitration is: The Arbitator Ruling is Final. You can not take further legal action in Court. In Hawaii Consumer Mediation if both parties don't come to mutual resolution, the options for Arbitration or Court Litigation still remains.
