How Much Will Mediation Cost?

I know how stressful it is to go through a divorce.  (I have been there).   Not having a clear understanding of the cost of mediation simply adds to the stress.  That is why I provide flat fee plans for divorce mediation.  These flat fee plans cover the most common situations based on my experience.

For those who think they can beat the system, and want to use the hourly billing option? Great, let’s do that.  My hourly rate is $350, with an advance fee deposit that varies based on your situation.   It’s your choice.

Benefits of a flat fee plan

  • Makes the process more productive
  • Encourages settlement within the package’s allotted mediation time
  • Reduces unproductive threats to quit mediation before it has had a chance to work
  • Attorney's focus is on efficient use of the time
