Our Services
-
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which a neutral third party helps individuals in conflict reach a mutually agreeable resolution. Mediation empowers you to control the outcome the mediator does not impose a decision but instead facilitates open communication, clarifies underlying interests, and guides both sides toward a practical solution that works for everyone. It is typically faster, more affordable, and less stressful than going to court, making it an ideal choice for resolving family disputes, workplace conflicts, business disagreements, and community issues while preserving relationships and privacy.

Arbitration is a private, legally binding dispute resolution process where conflicting parties present their case to a neutral third party, an arbitrator who reviews the evidence, hears arguments, and issues a final decision. It functions like a streamlined, informal court proceeding without the lengthy formalities, cost, and public exposure of traditional litigation. The arbitrator's ruling is typically final and enforceable in court, with very limited grounds for appeal. Arbitration is widely used for commercial contracts, employment disputes, consumer claims, and business-to-business conflicts, offering a faster, more confidential, and cost-effective alternative to going to court.

Mediation Fees & Policies
No mediation schedule is confirmed until each party has paid their share of the fee.
Our mediation fee is simple and charged at a fixed rate of $300 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. In the event that there are more than two parties, the third and fourth party pays an additional $150 per hour to the base rate of $300.
Overtime Fees
If the mediation extends past eight (8) hours for a full-day or three (3) hours for a partial-day, then each party will be charged the hourly fee of $150 as part of the $300 per hour rate. Please be prepared to provide a check at the mediation for overtime fees or bring a credit card to use our PayPal option.
Special Client Needs
If this fee schedule needs modification for your case, I would be willing to negotiate a more convenient rate. The venues that we use for mediation are all handicap and wheelchair accessible.
Cancellation Policy
A cancellation fee of $500, or $250 each party, will be charged to the canceling parties for a mediation canceled fourteen (14) 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 $500 cancellation fee toward the rescheduled mediation. We will make every prudent effort to work with you, your client, and your schedule.
