Rates
Mediations are set with a minimum of 4 hours billed at $450.00 per hour, plus one hour to cover review of briefs submitted ahead of the hearing, no matter the number of pages.
All Arbitrations, Neutral Evaluations, Discovery Referee or other matters will be quoted with a minimum after consultation with the persons that will be involved in the hearing. Each requires an estimation of the time pre-hearing that will be needed, and depends on the amount of briefing or other materials needing review before the hearing.
Locations and Travel Charges
Most cases can be handled virtually via Zoom. However, I am willing to travel to Los Angeles County, and adjoining counties under special circumstances, at a rate to be quoted, based on distance from Manhattan Beach, CA.
Confirmed Hearing Rules
My availability is handled solely by me, which I try to keep current. I will confirm the time slot you have selected via email and is “locked-in” once I have sent a confirming email. Payment is due by all participating parties per a separate invoice sent to each. If payment is not received within 15 days of the due date on the invoice, the time slot will be re-opened to others.
