Mediation Services are billed at the rate of $175.00/hour with a three hour minimum.

RESPONSIBILITY OF ATTORNEYS Notwithstanding the fact that counsel is acting as agent for a disclosed principal, the attorney’s client, in consideration of the mediator setting aside time to mediate this dispute without requiring prepayment of fees, each party’s attorney, if any, undertakes also to be responsible for timely delivery of that party’s fees.

PAYMENT TERMS Unless alternate arrangements are made prior to mediation, payment of the mediator’s fees is due and shall be paid at the conclusion of the mediation conference, or within ten (10) days. Checks and Cash are accepted.

TRAVEL EXPENSES Significant travel expenses (e.g., air travel, rental car, meals and lodging, when the engagement requires), will be discussed and prepayment arrangements made with the parties, at least two weeks prior to commencement of the first day of mediation conference.

PREPARATION TIME (if applicable) Review of Pre-Mediation Summary and other documents beyond 15 minutes per party will be billed hourly. If the total time of review does not exceed 30 minutes, no fee is charged.

CANCELLATION POLICY Notice of cancellation or postponement of a scheduled mediation conference must be received at least 7 full business days prior to the scheduled commencement of the mediation conference. Absent such timely notification, the parties will be billed their pro rata shares of the cancellation/postponement fees as stated above at the top of this document, as well as each party’s pro rata share of travel expenses already incurred, e.g., airline change fees or penalties as a result of any pre-pays and/or deposits for the engagement.

* Fees as stated apply unless court order, agency order, or published panel/roster rates dictate different rate, in which case that rate governs.
