This is not really a legal malpractice issue but I'll offer what I can. How did the fee arbitration option come about? Was it in the attorney's contract? If it was, what does the contract say about who pays the arbitrator? About where the arbitration is to take place. If the attorney was representing you on a WA state matter, more likely than not, the arbitration would have to take place in the state of WA.
