OPINION

GODOY PEREZ, J.

In this appeal we decide whether dismissal is mandatory or discretionary under Business and Professions Code section 6201, subdivision (a), for a lawsuit filed by an attorney against a client to recover fees if the attorney fails to give notice of the client's right to arbitration. The trial court concluded dismissal was mandatory. Because we conclude that dismissal is discretionary, we reverse.
