Family Mediation

Service Information

If your estranged spouse or partner and you are not at the point where you each agree on all matters in your separation and/or divorce, but you are still able to talk in a civil fashion with each other, the best service that I can offer you is family law mediation.

Typical litigation of a family law dispute involves each party retaining a family lawyer, and each of these two lawyers will bill the time that they spend on the file at $350.00 per hour, on average, over the course of the resolution of the dispute in Court. It is rare for a family to be able to afford a combined $700.00 per hour, which comes out of the family budget, especially after the parties have established separate residences.

My office charges $220.00 per hour plus G.S.T. for mediation of family law conflicts and typically schedules 1.5-hour mediation meetings with a couple. I have an excellent track record built over the last 21 years of helping my clients reach mutually agreeable, legally binding solutions for their separation through mediation.

FOR NEW CLIENTS: I personally prefer talking with new clients on a telephone call rather than trading a number of emails about preliminary issues. My experience is that considerably more important information about your matter can be exchanged between us if we are able to have instantaneous communication on the telephone. However, please don't hesitate to send me an email if you prefer, but do please include your best telephone number(s) in your email, for the quickest possible response from me.
