Fees

What are the Fees of the Mediator?

Cost to Mediate: The daily rate for 3 or fewer parties is $4000. The rate includes pre-mediation confidential conversations with each party representative, mediating pre-session disputes, all preparation and travel expenses, and for travel of two hours roundtrip or less. For mediation of more than 3 parties, add $500 per additional party. If travel exceeds two hours, then travel is $75. per hour. Fees are shared according to the parties’ agreement. For mediation sessions extending beyond 8 hours, the hourly charge of $350. per hour applies.

Deposit: A deposit equal to the full fee must be paid no later than the beginning of the first mediation session. Payment in advance assures that parties are equally committed to mediating, improving the chances of success. Connie Rakowsky wants to be your mediator, not your creditor.
