FEE POLICY

My mediation fees are based on a current charge of $1750.00 per party per day, for a two or three party, full day mediation in Houston, but that charge is expected to vary, either lower or higher, from case to case based on the complexity or value of the case, number of parties, required travel time, or other factors, and includes any necessary pre-mediation sessions or post-mediation follow-up when necessary.  One-half day mediations are charged at $1,050.00 per party.  Venue and refreshment and reasonable driving expenses are considered overhead, but airfare or overnight travel expense will be treated as a disbursement and divided equally among the parties.    A firm fee statement will be provided promptly upon receipt of the initial description or scheduling inquiry for the case, and payment is required at or before the beginning of the mediation.  Arbitration fees are generally set on an hourly charge basis, and are available upon request.

Cancellation Policy

Once a case has been scheduled for a definite date and place, any cancellation or postponement within seven business days from the scheduled date will result in a Cancellation Fee of $750 per party being charged to each party, regardless of the reason, or at which party’s request, the mediation is postponed or cancelled. This cancellation fee will be waived if the date is re-booked, or upon request if the charge presents an embarrassment or inconvenience to any party or counsel.
