SERVICES INCLUDE attendance at the mediation conference, preparation, review of
documentation, participation in pre-mediation and follow-up telephone conferences and other services as necessary. Please email me to set up a telephone phone conference if you would like to talk before the mediation.

​

RESERVATION DEPOSIT or advanced payment may be required in some cases at the sole discretion of the mediator. Pro se parties, not represented by an attorney, must pay a minimum deposit within ten (10) business days prior to the mediation unless prior arrangements have been made. If payment is required prior to mediation, a pre-mediation deposit invoice will be sent to the party.

​

FEE WILL COMMENCE at the scheduled start time  and will be divided equally among the parties, unless the court has ordered otherwise or the parties agree to an alternative arrangement.  Services are billed to the nearest half hour. There is a three (3) hour minimum for half-day mediations and a six (6) hour minimum for full-day mediations.

​

NO TRAVEL FEE WITHIN Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Manatee and Sarasota Counties. Travel time for mediation in other counties will be billed at $150.00 per hour, unless otherwise agreed. Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (hotel, cab fare, etc.) will be billed at actual expense cost. 

​

CANCELLATION POLICY:  Cancellations should be in writing and by confirmed agreement
of all parties. You have agreed to book my mediation services and, in return, I will not schedule other work for the date and time you booked. A Cancellation Fee equal to two (2) hour’s fees for a half-day mediation and four (4) hour’s fees for a full-day mediation will apply to mediations cancelled with less than two (2) business days’ notice. All attorneys and pro se parties are equally responsible for Cancellation Fees.
