MEDIATION SERVICE FEES

Our mediation fees are simple and charged at a fixed rate of $250 per hour for two parties, without regard to the nature, amount in controversy, or complexity of the case. This rate is divided by each party. 
 

No mediation schedule is confirmed until each party has signed an agreement to mediate and has paid their share of the initial fee.

Fees

Fees are $125 per party per each hour for a minimum of three hours. If the mediation extends past three (3) hours, then each party will be charged the hourly fee of $125 as part of the $250 per hour rate for actual mediation time.

after mediation has completed, the fees for preparing the mediated settlement agreement (msa) or memorandum of understanding (mou) and review are $100.00 per party per hour for a total of $200 per hour.

Initial mediation consultation - fees are $145.00 per session hour.  during an in person consultation, the process of mediation will be explained, as well as what to expect and what materials you will need to bring with you on the day of mediation.  you will have the opportunity to discuss individual goals, expectations, personal needs, and provide any background information needed to help you be successful.

Please be prepared to provide a credit card on file as this form of payment will serve as the payment for actual mediation as well as any overtime fees past the three hours.  See cancellation policy.

Cancellation Policy

A cancellation fee of $200, or $100 for each party, will be charged to the canceling parties for a mediation canceled (7) days prior to the scheduled mediation date. Otherwise, mediation fees, once paid and scheduled, are non-refundable. If the mediation is rescheduled and conducted, we will apply any funds in excess of the $200 cancellation fee toward the rescheduled mediation. We will make every prudent effort to work with you and your schedule.
