Fees & Costs
Mediation Fees:
Fees are split equally by the parties unless other arrangements are agreed to in advance.
Amount in Dispute:
Dr. Goetz’s view is that mediation is not a one-day event, but a process that begins shortly after the matter is received that includes mediation meeting time to resolve the matter.
Greater than $100,000:
- $2,000 for a process that includes a ½ day of mediation meeting time, and $500/hr. per hour for any hours in excess of ½ day of mediation meeting time.
$100,000 or less:
- $1,500 for a process that includes a ½ day of mediation meeting time, and $500/hr., per hour for any hours in excess of ½ day of mediation meeting time.
Included in my practice:
- Preparation and intake time is part of the process.
- Parties are not required to travel to any office for the mediation. We will conduct the hearing at a mutually agreed upon site or via videoconferencing (i.e., ZOOM) that is convenient for the participants.
Arbitration Fees:
Private arbitrations are accepted that are related to Dr. Goetz's arbitration practice.
- $500 / hearing hour
- The cost for a full arbitration is dependent upon the parties' preferences/needs (e.g., a need for a written and reasoned decision by Dr. Goetz).
