If Anne Ashby served as your arbitrator — and the process felt rigged, one-sided, or compromised — you may not be alone. We are gathering accounts from other arbitration parties who experienced similar conduct.
Tell Us What HappenedAnne Ashby (Texas Bar No. 15402600) is a Dallas-based attorney and AAA arbitrator who served as sole arbitrator in a multi-million dollar attorney fee dispute arising from the Allison family estate. A formal disciplinary complaint was submitted to the Texas State Bar in April 2026 documenting a pattern of alleged misconduct during that proceeding.
The complaint documents that Ashby signed an Arbitrator Oath certifying no conflicts of interest — then presided over a proceeding involving parties tied to her own longstanding professional network, allegedly without ever disclosing the full depth of those relationships. Michael Collins, a central figure in the underlying dispute, reportedly had a 35–40 year personal, professional, and financial relationship with Ashby — disclosed only in fragments, months after her appointment.
The arbitration was not neutral. The record shows a pattern of undisclosed relationships, financial dependency, and interconnected actors that created a clear appearance of evident partiality.
The bar complaint against Ashby describes a pattern — not an isolated incident. Public reviews and anecdotal reports describe similar experiences from other arbitration parties. If any of the following occurred in your proceeding, we want to hear from you.
When parties are compelled into arbitration, they surrender their right to a jury, to full judicial review, and to the procedural protections of a public courtroom. In exchange, they are promised a neutral decision-maker.
If that neutrality is compromised — through hidden relationships, financial entanglements, or procedural bias — there is almost no remedy. Vacating an arbitration award is extraordinarily difficult. The time to act is during the process, or through mechanisms like bar complaints, investigative journalism, and collective public documentation.
Your account matters. Every corroborating story strengthens the public record and may help future arbitration parties protect themselves.
