The South Carolina Court of Appeals

This is an appeal from a circuit court order compelling Lisa Moore (Client) to resolve a fee dispute through the Resolution of Fee Disputes Board of the South Carolina Bar (the Board). Client argues (1) Jean Derrick (Attorney) waived the right to compel her appearance before the Board by first filing an action in the circuit court, (2) the circuit court lacked authority to compel Client’s appearance before the Board, and (3) Attorney’s fee agreement is unenforceable under the South Carolina Uniform Arbitration Act. We affirm.
