“McDonald’s challenge to arbitration, presented both before the trial court’s enforcement and post-arbitration, was not adequate to maintain his objections regarding the arbitration provision’s legitimacy,” the court noted. The appellate court highlighted the lack of formal records from the arbitration, which further undermined McDonald’s position.

McDonald is represented by a team including Douglas A. Allison of the Law Offices of Douglas Allison, Alissa A.
