Mediation Services:

Fees & Expenses: 

Family Law, Probate, and Trust matters: Mediator time is charged at the rate of $175 per hour. We charge for all time spent on the case, including preparation time, telephone time, attendance at the mediation session, and follow-up. If travel is required, travel time is billed at the mediator’s standard rate.

An administrative fee of $75 per party per case. The Administrative fees include case administration, coordination, scheduling, and document handling. Initial Administrative fees are nonrefundable and are due even if the matter settles, cancels, or is withdrawn prior to the service of a reply from the other party. If a case is canceled, settled, or withdrawn prior to a hearing having taken place, such fee will be refunded if we are notified at least 24 hours before a scheduled hearing date.

Civil Cases: Flat fee mediation program tailor-made for civil cases involving 2 parties with a monetary demand of $50,000 or less. A flat rate for a two-hour mediation of $275 per party. No additional charge for up to 30 minutes of mediator’s time to review pre-mediation position papers up to 6 pages. Cases requiring more than two hours are billed at a discounted rate of $125.00 per hour per party after two hours.

Billing

All parties are asked to make an initial deposit toward mediation costs and fees. Any unused portion will be remitted upon conclusion of the mediation and/or the parties will be billed for the balance due. If the mediation will continue more than 30 days beyond the initial session, interim billings will be made. Responsibility for fees is worked out on a case-by-case basis; fees are usually divided equally between the parties, although payment of all fees by one side is not unusual. All fees are due upon receipt of the bill.

Cancellation

A late cancellation fee will be charged equal to 2 (two) hours at the mediator’s hourly rate in addition to any time actually incurred on the case divided by the number of parties if the notice of postponement or cancellation is received within 10 (ten) business days of the mediation and we are unable to reschedule another matter on the mediator’s calendar. The cancellation notice must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the 10th (tenth) business day preceding the date of the mediation to avoid the cancellation charge. The mediation date is not considered in the calculation for cancellation purposes.
