Mediation is an opportunity. Mediation is a proven process which affords
the parties an opportunity to resolve their differences beyond and outside
the pressures of a family courtroom proceeding, and it provides parties
with control over the outcome and a quality of resolution which best supports
the parties' long-term emotional and financial well-being.
I have created and established an office which will
provide attorneys and their clients with an array of alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) services [e.g., conducting mediation at a pre-commencement
or post-commencement litigation stage, and/or conducting binding arbitration
proceedings pursuant to a family court order authorizing arbitration].
In cases not involving ADR, and
after proper client authorizations are secured, I am prepared to assist
an attorney in analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the client’s
case, at the pre-trial stage, in order to better prepare the case file
and the client for settlement negotiations or for trial.

For mediation: $175 per hour. There will need
to be an initial fee paid of $175 per party which must be paid
prior to the date of the scheduled mediation. Full payment for
the neutral's services must be made by the parties at the end of
the mediation. Payment by credit card will be accepted. However,
the responsibility for the payment of all mediation fees must remain
with the party's attorney (s). Unless otherwise mutually agreed
by the parties, each party will equally share in the mediator's
fees.
For arbitration: $175 per hour. Each party
shall pay, in advance of the scheduled arbitration, a retainer
of $500 [the amount of the retainer above
this minimum amount will be determined and based upon the number
and complexity of the issues for arbitration and the amount of
time the attorneys estimate will be needed to complete the
arbitration].
For non-ADR case file review and pre-trial preparation:
$200 per hour. |
