Every fee

How each fee works, and what it leaves out

Fees are per person unless a card says otherwise. Nothing here changes after you book.

  • The first call

    About fifteen minutes, free. I speak with each of you separately, then we choose a date that suits both calendars.

  • One session

    Two hours with one mediator for one or two open points. A signed agreement is not part of it, and neither is legal advice for either of you.

    • A private 15-minute intake call with each of you

    • Two hours at the table

    • A one-page summary within two business days

  • Agreement package

    Up to three sessions and a written agreement to take to your lawyers. The fee follows the number of sessions you use. Court filing fees and outside appraisers and accountants are not part of it.

    • A private 15-minute intake call with each of you

    • Up to three two-hour sessions

    • A written memorandum of understanding

    • One round of edits after your lawyers read it

  • Another session

    For a table that needs another two hours after the first. It counts toward the Agreement package if you move up.

    • Two more hours with the same mediator

    • An updated summary within two business days

Sessions canceled more than two business days ahead aren't billed. The first call is free and carries no obligation.

Paid separately

Three costs that sit outside any package

  • Court filing fees

    If an agreement needs to be filed with a court, the filing fee is set by the court and paid by whoever files.

  • Your own lawyer

    You may have one at any point. Their time is billed by them, and I don't recommend or refer you to a particular lawyer.

  • Outside experts

    An appraiser, accountant or financial planner is hired by you and billed by them, and I schedule around their numbers.

On the free call I'll tell you which fee applies to your situation, before you spend anything.

The first call is free and carries no obligation. Sessions are billed at the fee quoted in writing.
