Alternative Dispute Resolution – Mediation
Thank you for contacting me about mediation services. I am a trained mediator who practices in several venues including: private business and commercial, court-based, public safety, EEOC, and healthcare. My philosophy is to tailor mediation to the clients and to the situation. The bottom line is that mediation should allow disputing parties to reach an agreement and avoid the time and cost of protracted court battles. Our goal is to reach agreement, not to assess blame.
Fees
Baseline Rates - $200.00 per hour for Arbitration and Mediation Sessions
Research and Case Preparation - $125.00 per hour
Other Information
I have been a member of MCDR for five years, having served as Secretary and Vice President. In 2015, I was elected to a term as Co-President for MCDR. In 2016, I became President.
