Fees & Policies


Mediation Fees:
Mediation fees are charged in the amount of $340 per hour ( $170 per hour, per side) for two party mediations. If there are three or more negotiating parties, then the fee per party is reduced to $125 per hour. The minimum charge for reservation of an entire day of mediation is five hours. The mediation bill will consist of the mediator’s preparation time plus the actual time expended during the mediation session.

A detailed bill will be delivered to each attorney at the conclusion of the mediation session. Clients are urged to bring a check to mediation so that the invoice may be paid at the conclusion of the session. If payment is not made at mediation, then each attorney will be responsible for remitting payment within 15 days of the mediation conference.


Cancellation Policy:
Your mediation session is important to me, and, once a mediation is booked, I decline other mediations for your date and time. A $300 fee will be imposed for the cancellation of a half day mediation. A $600 fee will be assessed for the cancellation of a full day mediation. Cancellation fees will only apply to mediations which are cancelled within five business days of the scheduled session. Mediations which are cancelled outside of the five business day period will not be subject to any cancellation fees.


Travel Policy:
Mr. Ross travels throughout the state of Florida to handle mediations. No travel charges are assessed for full day mediations in Florida.
