Online Mediation Fee & Cancellation Policy

Mediation Can Save You Thousands in Litigation Costs

Mr. Wales’ Mediation Fee is $1,800.00 shared by the parties.

This fee includes up to 1⁄2 hour of preparation time and up to 4 hours of mediation time. Every hour, or portion thereof, after the first 4 hours is billed at $450 per hour.

Fees for complex cases, involving 4 or more parties and/or presenting complex legal or factual issues are priced separately.

Advance payment is required for the time estimates offered by the parties. Once payment is received, a mediation date will be confirmed and Mr. Wales will provide the parties with a Zoom invite.   The parties will have their own breakout rooms and Mr. Wales will vist each party in their breakout room.

The fee deposit is a retainer guaranteeing the time reserved. You will receive an invoice which you can pay online.

Confirmed mediation sessions for which fees have been received are subject to the following refund/reimbursement schedule, in which the word “days” refers to calendar days: 

• Cancellation 30 days or more before the date set: 100% minus $400 for preparation and set up; however, no additional charge if a new date is set at the time of postponement.
• Postponement or Cancellation 15 – 29 days before the date set: Refund of 50% of the advance fee unless the mediator can reschedule the time, in which case a refund of the full amount less $400, will be made.
• Postponement or Cancellation 8 – 14 days before the date set: Refund of 25% of the advance fee unless the mediator can reschedule the time, in which case a refund of the full amount less $400, will be made.
• Postponement or Cancellation 7 days or less before the date set

why mediate?

One option for a person, couple, or business in conflict is to
go to court. The legal system can resolve their dispute, but
the emotional and financial costs can be devastating.

Many disputes have a prior history of an amicable relationship. Litigation (arbitration or court) will likely kill any prospect of continued relations.
