How Much Does a Typical Mediation Cost?
Solving conflicts through mediation or other ADR processes usually takes less time and costs less money than litigation. Costs vary widely, depending on the complexity of the case and the experience and training of the mediator. Mediators come from a variety of professions, including law, social work, human resources, psychology, education, ministry, and others. Their hourly rate usually reflects their training and years of experience. For example, some mediators may work with low-income clients on a volunteer basis, while others are highly paid lawyers who include ADR as part of their practice.
