Scheduling Mediation
- It is our policy to help in every way possible to resolve disputes and to assist the attorneys and their clients. Upon receiving the client’s information, my staff will schedule the mediation between all attorneys at no additional charge.

- Mediation is charged on a day or "half day" basis. Full day mediation may take up to ten hours without additional hourly charges. "Half day" mediations last four hours. If the "half day" mediation exceeds four hours, I charge an hourly rate of $250 per hour, to be equally divided between the parties.
- To assess the division of mediation cost, I will determine how many negotiating units are involved in the case. Each party is responsible for their portion of the mediation fee. An example of one negotiating unit is a husband and a wife who are making or defending a common claim. Another example is a business organization with several business associates, all with the same interest in a piece of litigation and a common attorney. My determination as to the number of negotiating units is final.
- Payment for mediation services must arrive by both parties in our offices no later than seven days before the scheduled mediation. If mediation is scheduled and cancelled within twenty four hours of the agreed upon date, the cancellation fee shall be half of the mediation fee.
- All charges for the use of a location will be charged to the parties in addition to the fees.
- Please send all payments and material (other than scheduling material) to billing@judgeelizabethray.com
