Mediation Pricing & Packages

Up Front Pricing

Why pay $15,000 or more for a Divorce attorney when our average mediation client pays less than $5,000?

Select Packages

Traditionally our cases are billed on an hourly basis. However, we have developed pricing packages for couples that do not need the entire range of professional dispute resolution services that we have to offer.

How does our pricing differ from a divorce attorney?

Our Billings are calculated in the aggregate — you will not be charged one-tenth fractions of an hour per individual phone call, text message, or email.  Instead, the total professional time is calculated for specific deliverables and rounded to the nearest quarter-hour.  You will never receive clerical charges or administrative fees like at a traditional law firm. 

Each case is unique and therefore the professional time requirement may differ on a case-to-case basis.  If you do not utilize one of the above packages, or require time over the package allotment, our certified attorney mediators charge based on professional time at a rate specific to each attorney mediator.

What our clients are saying...

Thank you for helping us prepare for our divorce. You made it a smooth and easy process. We couldn’t thank you enough for being so helpful and answering our questions. We had our court date yesterday and like you said it only took about 15 minutes.

Carroll County Client

“My husband and I got married later in life (both second marriages) and it just didn’t work out. We decided to use a mediator and it was a very good process. My first divorce years ago was very expensive and took a long time but I’m glad we found this mediator.”

- S. B.

“I called an attorney and he wanted a $5,000 retainer. I’m so glad I called you.”

- Baltimore County client

“Spending thousands of dollars on lawyers was not what we wanted to do at all…but we also felt like we had to use legal language in case it got messy in the future. Jacob walked us through the process and helped us draft the separation agreement. Was an increasingly easy process.”

- D. G.
