Mediation fees are based on a fixed amount per party per day. A full-day mediation usually begins at 9:30 a.m. and continues until completed. An additional charge will be assessed if mediation continues past 7:00 p.m. A working lunch is provided. The mediation fee is based upon: (1) the amount in controversy, (2) the number of parties, and (3) the experience level of the mediator. The "amount in controversy" is the total of all claims (including counterclaims and attorney's fees) but excludes court costs or exemplary damages. All parties represented by the same attorney or law firm are considered one party for the mediation fee.
Amount in Controversy | 2 parties | 3 Parties | 4 Parties | Less than $300,000 | $1,000 | $900 | $800 | $300,000-$999,999 | $1,200 | $1,000 | $900 | $1,000,000 - up | $1,350 | $1,200 | $1,000 |
One-half day mediations, when appropriate, will begin at 9:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m., and the fees are $600 per party for 2 parties and $500 per party for 3 parties. As scheduling permits, County Court cases can be mediated on a half day, three hour, morning or afternoon sessions for $450 per party. Fees for mediations involving more than four parties are arranged on a case-by-case basis.
