Fees  

Ann’s hourly rate is $230.00 per hour spent in the mediation beginning at the time the mediation is scheduled to commence, with an additional $200.00 per case administrative fee.  Ann’s time for preparation is included in the fee, as long as the time is less than two hours. For time in excess of two hours, Ann charges $230 an hour.   Ann charges mileage at the rate of $.46 per mile.  There is no charge for travel time.   The fees are split between the parties as set forth in the North Carolina Superior Court Mediation Rules.

Cancellation Fees

If you need to cancel or postpone a scheduled mediation, the fee is as follows:  15 calendar days or longer before the mediation, no fee;  7 to 15 calendar days before the mediation, $400.00; and the day of the mediation up to 6 calendar days before the mediation, $550.00.  This fee will be due even if the mediation is rescheduled for a later date.

Mediation Statements

If there is a mediation statement or pleading that you would like for Ann to review, try to get it to her the week before the mediation.  Ann’s mediation schedule is such that she sometimes does not return to the office before her next mediation.  She generally likes to review the pleadings or any statements filed with any pertinent administrative agency before the mediation.
