Mediation time will be charged at the rate $500 per hour ($250.00 per hour, per party for two party mediations) and time is computed to the next half hour. For "multiparty" mediations with three (3) parties, the rate is $190.00 per hour, per party. For mediations with four (4) or more parties the rate is $170.00 per hour, per party (the rate is capped at $150.00 per hour and shall be divided equally by all parties).
Parties refers to the named parties to the litigation as well as any interested parties voluntarily participating in the mediation process. Parties agree to waive any part of a Court order inconsistent with the afore-mentioned hourly rates.
Please note that these fees include reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the mediator such as clerical, local telephone, local fax charges, postage costs, etc., but we reserve the right to charge for extraordinary expenses.
NOTE: There is no charge for follow-up.

The applicable minimum charge will be divided equally among all parties. Unless the parties agree otherwise, all parties—through their attorneys, if any—shall be financially responsible for their respective share. All cancellations should be in writing or email with the agreement of all parties and counsel, if any.

Minimum Fee

There is a four (4) hour minimum charge for all half-day mediations, a three (3) hour minimum charge for all global settlement conferences, and a seven (7) hour minimum charge for all full-day mediations, unless agreed to by the mediator. Also, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the participating parties shall divide mediation fees equally.

Payment

Law firms and lawyers- not their clients, will be billed and are responsible for the Mediation Bill. Payment is due within ten (10) days of the date of the bill and is not conditioned on receipt of the settlement funds. Past due bills will accrue interest at the highest legal rate and will result in additional charges for time and fees spent on collection.
Pro Se parties (those not represented by attorneys) must pre-pay a $1,000.00 deposit prior to mediation.
