PAYMENT TERMS

Unless other arrangements are made with the mediator in advance of the mediation, all parties are to remit payment to the mediator on the date of mediation.  We accept payment by Zelle, Paypal, Mastercard and VISA.

RESPONSIBILITY OF ATTORNEYS

Notwithstanding the fact that counsel is acting as agent for a disclosed principal, the attorney’s client, in consideration of the mediator setting aside time to mediate this dispute without requiring prepayment of fees, each party’s attorney, if any, undertakes also to be responsible for timely delivery of that party’s fees.

CANCELLATION POLICY

WE SCHEDULE ONLY ONE MEDIATION PER DAY AND DO NOT “DOUBLE-BOOK” MEDIATION TIME.  Therefore, notice of a cancellation or postponement of a scheduled mediation conference must be received at least 7 full business days (i.e. excludes intervening weekends or federal holidays) prior to the scheduled commencement of the mediation conference.  Absent such timely notification, the parties will be billed their pro rata share of a $600.00 cancellation fee.
