Explanation of Mediator Comprehensive Fee

Our fees are comprehensive and include all:

• Preparation time (reading and analyzing submissions, reviewing multimedia material, preparation and assessing structure and conduct of the session);
  
• Case administrative (convening the session and case management);
  
• Travel time and expenses;
  
• Administrative expenses such as telephone charges, photocopies and overnight deliveries; and
  
• Follow up by telephone is included in the fee. Additional mediation sessions held in person are billed separately.

In addition to the predictability and consistency of a fixed fee plan over a traditional hourly fee approach, avoidance of hourly charges eliminates any concern that the mediator is slowing down the process to enhance billing or is otherwise charging excessive time for preparation or follow-up.  Our fee structure allows us to devote the necessary time at an appropriate pace.  

We can only schedule one case in any one calendar day.  Since we devote that day and cannot generally schedule another case on that day, if the parties cancel the case we charge the full fee. The party who cancels the case will normally bear the costs for canceling unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. If the parties do need to reschedule please call our office as soon as possible.

Please feel free to contact either one of us personally on fees or any matter.
