MEDIATION RATE SCHEDULE

Two and three-party mediations are billed at a rate of $490 per hour. Mediations involving four or more parties are billed at $525 per hour. There is a four-hour minimum for mediation time, as well as a one-hour charge for administrative time.  There is no charge for travel time for mediations within Duval, St. Johns, Baker and Nassau Counties.  Travel time for mediations held outside of those four counties is billed at one hour of time (covering both to and from the mediation) at the applicable hourly rate, plus any out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred.

Charges are divided equally between and among the parties, unless agreed otherwise. While counsel typically bill their respective client for that party’s share of the mediation fee, it is the responsibility of counsel to pay the mediation fee allocable to their client.  Cancellations with less than ten business days advance notice will result in a two- hour charge for a half-day mediation and a four-hour charge for a full-day mediation, plus any preparation time I have expended prior to the notice of cancellation. 

ARBITRATION RATE SCHEDULE

Arbitrations are billed at a rate of $525 per hour with a four-hour minimum for each hearing day reserved, plus one hour for administrative time, plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. If an arbitration hearing is cancelled or rescheduled within ten business days of the arbitration hearing, there will be a four-hour charge for each scheduled day not subsequently used for a replacement mediation or arbitration.
