Fee Schedule and Process
Lori charges a flat rate for each day of mediation which includes a pre-mediation conference for each party, preparation for the mediation, the day of mediation, and reasonable post-mediation follow-up.
The flat rate depends on the number of parties and the location of the mediation. Lori expects each party to provide a mediation brief at least three business days before the mediation.
