My fee to mediate:

$100 per person per hour so...

4 hours - $400 per party

6 hours - $600 per party

8 hours - $800 per party

10 hours - $1,000 per party

12 hours - $1,200 per party

I tend to go 4 hours. If it appears that we are making progress, I will go longer. I do not like to go over 6 hours due to fatigue. I prefer when possible to take a break and come back in a week or so to complete the negotiation. However, sometimes time is of the essence and everyone agrees to go until everything is signed.
