Conflict to Peace offers many forms of ADR – all of which require different skill sets and which are subject to different fees.
Conflict Coaching or Consulting, in which we assist one party to assess the dispute and fashion a strategy to approach the other side and to explore ways of reaching peace without the involvement of anyone else – $165.00 per hour. If coaching results in the other party agreeing to mediate, any difference in rates will be credited back.
Conciliation Services, in which we assist parties who truly want to pursue relationship restoration and reconciliation but are unable to do so on their own – 10% discount1 on our normal mediation fees.
Mediation Services, in which mediator teams confidentially meet with each side in advance (intakes and pre-mediation coaching), in joint session to assist in collaboratively reaching settlement and then draft that agreement. Services are billed based on the stage of the proceeding – $165 per hour for intake and pre-mediation coaching (minimum two hours) plus a $70 case administration fee; $330 per hour in joint sessions2; and $170 per hour drafting time. Family and marital cases employ a woman/man mediator team.
Hybrid Mediation/Arbitration or Arbitration Services, in which we help resolve or narrow the issues with any remaining presented in a hearing prior to making a binding decision. This service is subject to a number of factors (i.e. number of parties, issues, amount in controversy, number of arbitrators, etc.) – contact us for a Market Price.
A 20% surcharge is applied to hourly rates for in-person meetings held on weekends and holidays or outside normal business hours (9 to 6). Fees are based on the published rate when a case begins. Cases that are resumed after a three-month period of inactivity are billed at the then prevailing rate.
Reduced fees and payment plans are available for those with limited incomes or faced with unusual financial hardship upon presentation of documentation. Contact our office to learn more.
We partner with some Employee Assistance Programs by offering a discount1 to our published rates. Please check with your Human Resources Department.
The above rates are current, as of March 1st, 2022.
