Fees & Pricing
Learn more about pricing for mediation, trainings and consultations below.
Mediation Pricing
Mediation services are offered at no or low cost to the community. However, as we are a small not-for-profit with limited funding, we may assess a small administrative fee of $25.00 per party to be paid prior to your mediation session. Note: There are no costs to you for court-referred mediation.
This fee helps us to cover administration costs for things such as postage, phone calls, paper, and other expenses necessary in setting up your mediation. We may waive the fee in some circumstances. Please call us for more information.
The exception to this is Elder Mediation, which involves a much more in-depth intake process and is generally more complicated than standard mediations, sometimes necessitating the involvement of outside experts. Fees for this type of mediation begin at $25.00 per party, but can reach $50.00 per hour for more involved cases. Please contact the office for a quote appropriate to your situation.
If you are unable to afford your mediation fee, please contact our office to discuss a sliding scale payment based on income. You may request a Waiver if you are unable to pay.
PLEASE NOTE: FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE WITH LESS THAN A 48 HOUR NOTICE TO THE AGENCY. REFUNDS ON CREDIT CARDS SUBJECT TO A HANDLING FEE.
