MEDIATION FEES AND POLICIES
MEDIATION RATES

Full-day mediations: $7,500.00
This includes:
Up to one hour of preparation time.
Up to three and one-half hours of mediation time (half day).
Six hours of mediation time (full day).
Administration costs.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FEES
Counsel, not their clients, contract for the mediator's services and are responsible for paying all fees.
NON-REFUNDABLE ADMINISTRATION FEES
Fees include a non-refundable administrative fee of $500.00 per separately represented party.
In the event of cancellation or continuance, this fee will not be refunded.
ADDITIONAL FEES
Fees for additional time: $850.00 per hour.
Fees for "unused" time will not be refunded.
PAYMENT TERMS AND CALENDAR POLICIES
Mediation fees are due in full upon booking and must be received no later than 7 days prior to mediation.
We reserve the right to take matters off the calendar if fees are not paid timely.
CANCELLATION AND CONTINUANCE POLICY
Due to an increase in cancellations and continuances, our policies have changed. Cancellations or continuances made 7 days or less prior to mediation will result in forfeiture of the entire mediation fee, unless we can fill the date with another matter.
COMPLEX CASES AND RESERVATION POLICY
Mr. DeSimone reserves the right to charge additional fees for cases involving multiple separately represented parties and particularly complex issues.
Please do not reserve a mediation date unless you are sure that you will go forward.
