The binding nature of attorney-client arbitration clauses was put to the test when Morgan & Morgan asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to reconsider a Savannah trial court’s decision that invalidated an arbitration agreement between the firm and a former client.
Plaintiff-appellee Brian Brown retained the firm after a trucking accident. Morgan & Morgan first sent the defense a demand for $750,000, signed a limited release agreement accepting it and then made another, unsuccessful demand to recover an additional $500,000.
