How can I prepare a subpoena for my Finra Arbitration hearing?
I am handling my own Finra Arbitration hearing. I wish to subpoena two witnesses. This is a hearing, not a civil case, what forms could I use as a guideline to prepare a subpoena. Finra says they do not have the form, it is up to me to send it to them for approval. At that point the Director approves, and then gives it to the Arbitrator for approval. Again what form could I utilize to prepare my own subpoena? I am looking for information on where to find a subpoena form to file in my Finra Arbitration hearing. It is not a civil matter, but just an Arbitration Hearing. There is no specific Finra Subpoena form, so what has to be produced to submit to Finra for approval is one that I prepare. It goes to the Director of Finra who then passes it on to the Arbitrator, after approval it then comes back to me for service.I need a form that will offer me guidelines for preparing this as a non-attorney. Every form that I have located appears to be for a Federal or Civil case. Thanks.
Can I oppose an arbitration agreement with my divorce attorneys?
i signed an arbitration agreement with divorce attorneys that i am malpracticing but not about the fees, other catastrophic things. i did not lose, just became homeless, and other things since they would not enforce court ordered temp or perm support for four years and my spouse after the divorce of course hid everything thanks to them. after 25 years of marriage i got not one penny while i had the attorneys to help me. i believe the agreemebnt is unconscionable, also they gave me my retaianer back because of my situation that atty took six months to finish closing arguments and other things. i filed a case in civil court and then remembered the arbitration agreement i signed which also states that i aagree not to oppose the compel of arbitration. i am in pro per and have lost everything. they did not ask spouse to pay atty fees in the end. i have nothing and also 200,000 of atty fees. its quite a mess, i must proceed and think they have robbed me of my right to the pursuit of happiness as well. my question is how much would you charge me to draft a document opposing this, which i will be filing along with my civil case. and can you tell me anything else, in case you dont draft. thanks
