Mediations are scheduled for an entire day and begin at 9:00 am. The start time, length, and other parameters are subject to the agreement of the parties and the mediator. The fee is billed hourly for time spent preparing and reviewing case materials and in mediation. Travel time within Portland metropolitan area is not billed. If travel beyond the Portland metropolitan area is required, then travel time is billed at 1/2 the hourly rate.
After you request your mediation, allow 24-48 hours for confirmation. Once confirmed, schedule a pre-mediation conference call for the attorneys with the mediator approximately one week before the mediation. Pre-mediation appointments are currently available on Mondays.
If you are unable to find a mutually agreeable time for a mediation or pre-mediation appointment, please feel free to send three options that work for both attorneys via email.
