“Judges should decide legal disputes. Judges should not make law.”

– Joseph Wapner

The legal community has been frustrated with the case backlog within the National and especially New York court system and the exorbitant costs and useless motion practice and lengthy unnecessary procedures that come with it. Those same frustrations also exist with the American Arbitration Alternative (AAA), or the JAMS which were originally intended to ease those frustrations yet have both exorbitant costs and surprising large participation fees associated with rendering justice. Why would the cost of justice be a percentage of your claim? How is that fair or reasonable?

Thus, the NYSAA a for profit corporation, has been established to provide a quick, fair, pertinent, confidential and binding proceeding for busy New Yorkers at fair costs.
