What do mediators charge?
There is a range of rates charged by mediators. Experienced, legally trained mediators typically charge from $150 to $250 an hour. Mediators who are not legally trained may fall within the same range or some may charge less. Rates are sometimes negotiable. The cost of the mediator is usually shared equally by the parties participating in the mediation, but the agreement to mediate can provide for any other arrangement. Some of the mediators on the Civil Roster and Family Roster provide information about their rates on the Society website. You can find this information in individual mediator’s professional profiles in the Directory of Civil Mediators and the Directory of Family Mediators.
