ADR Services
Patricia
Prince offers services as a mediator for litigated actions
and pre-litigation conflicts, such as workplace or landlord/tenant
disputes. Fluent in Spanish, Ms. Prince also offers Spanish-speaking
services.
Hourly Rate
$350 per hour is charged for pre-mediation review of materials
submitted by the parties; substantive telephone conferences
or meetings, if any; time spent during the mediation session
and any post-session time authorized by the parties. There
is no administration fee.
Travel Time and Expenses
There is no charge for travel time to and from a mediation session
in the Bay Area. Mediations held outside the Bay
Area are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Minimum Reservation and Deposit
The minimum amount of time that may be reserved is 3 hours. A deposit of $900 is required to reserve a half-day mediation; a deposit of $1,500 is required to reserve a full-day session. The date requested for the mediation session will be confirmed only upon receipt of the deposit. If the total fee for the actual session (together with pre-session preparation and other authorized services) is less than the deposit, the balance will be refunded. If the total fee exceeds the deposit, counsel will be invoiced after the mediation session.
Cost Sharing and Payment of Fees
There is no charge for travel time to and from a mediation session
in the Bay Area. Mediations held outside the Bay
Area are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Cancellations/Rescheduling Policy
If a scheduled mediation is cancelled or postponed within 10
days or less before the day of the scheduled session, the
canceling or postponing party(ies) will be charged for
2 hours of mediation services, unless the time can be re-booked.
If the parties do not agree on which party is the canceling
party, the charges will be split equally between them.
