Mediation services are rendered for an hourly-based fee independent of the number of parties involved.

Fee includes administration and incidentals (hospitality, parking, phone, fax, copying).

Sessions are available for half-days (4 hours) and full-days (8 hours, plus).

Deposit of a minimum half-day and up to 50% of total time scheduled is required at time of scheduling.

Each party shares equally in the payment of the deposit and hourly rate.

Deposit, less fee for time expended, may be returned when a cancellation is made 48 hours or more before the scheduled start of mediation.

Parties have the option of using my facilities, or my traveling to yours.

I provide:

• Active, careful listening to what you believe is important.
• Confident, experienced, knowledgeable and neutral guidance while appreciating and standing outside your point of view, and helping you to recognize negotiable options.
• Steadfast, matter-of-fact reality checks so you consider and analyze those aspects of your situation not easy to face. This is essential to reaching a valuable and acceptable outcome.
• Assistance in helping you develop and respond to suggestions for resolution specifically meaningful to you and your interests.
• The help of a neutral who will work to keep your focus on negotiating for that which serves you and your best interests, all the while re-directing the tendency to get distracted by the other party’s benefits or motivation.
• Questioning of your interests, motives — by a neutral with no stake in the outcome — that provides clarity as to your choices, how they play out, how they compare and rate against each other.
• The opportunity for you to be the master of your own agreement; come to terms that are significant to you and make them part of a thorough, detailed agreement.
• Meeting(s), attended by you and the other party, exclusively focused on getting beyond impasse and resolving the very problem itself.
• A committed, focused effort on getting down to the business of resolving the problem by someone who won’t give up on you or the effort, or let you give up on yourself.
• Respect for your right to disagree but settle anyway.
• Even the right to not settle at all.

In my involvement with more than 1,500 cases, I have found this works best:

• Roll-your-sleeves-up, get down to business
• Work with a prepared, action-oriented mindset
• Be open to the unfolding of a solution

I invite your inquiry and will be happy to discuss my fee and services.
