Mediation Rates
Mediation time will be billed at $275 per hour per party for two (2) party mediations; $250 per hour per party for three (3) party mediations; and $200 per hour per party for four (4) or more party mediations. There will be a 3-hour minimum charge for half-day mediations and a 6-hour minimum charge for full-day mediations.
For in-person mediations, travel time will be charged at $300 per hour, both in and out of town. Travel expenses for airfare and hotel will be included on the mediation invoice.
The mediator is entitled to compensation for all time spent on the case including but not limited to preparation time, attendance at the mediation conference, communications, follow-up and administration.
Cancellation and Postponement Policy
Mediations canceled or postponed less than 10 business days before the scheduled date will incur a charge equal to the 3-hour minimum for half-day mediations and the 6-hour minimum for full-day mediations. Parties will proportionally share responsibility for these charges, unless otherwise agreed. However, if the canceled or postponed slot is filled with another mediation, no charge will apply. All cancellations and postponements must be done in writing and sent to troy@crottsmediation.com.
Billing
Mediation bills will be sent to counsel upon completion of mediation, accompanied by a W-9. Payment is due within 15 days of the invoice date. Payment is the responsibility of the attorney and/or their law firm, not the individual parties or representatives.
