Rates
Unless otherwise agreed in advance, my hourly rate for neutral services is $500.00 for time spent, including preparation and travel time and post-proceeding services (such as assistance in preparing a settlement agreement or preparing an arbitration award). I charge no administrative or cancellation fees for mediations, and no administrative fees for private arbitrations. However, if a mediation is cancelled after I have expended time preparing, I will bill for the time actually expended; and if an arbitration scheduled for more than 2 days is cancelled within 10 days of the first scheduled hearing date, I will charge $2,500.00 per scheduled hearing day, plus my hourly rate for work already performed on the matter. A deposit is generally requested, based on the anticipated time for the proceeding. Fees are billed at the conclusion of the services, with any unused deposit being returned at that time. The parties are expected to share the fees equally, unless they have agreed otherwise. Special rates may apply for proceedings scheduled through the American Arbitration Association, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Arizona Association of Realtors. |
