What is our Conflict Resolution Process?
At JRB Mediations we use our proven specialized mediation and negotiation methods to help you reach resolution and agreement quickly, fairly, and with care - whether your conflict relates to a workplace, separation, or other family dispute.
Separate in-depth discussions with each party to mediations to understand perspectives, issues, and interests.
Information gathered by parties and provided to the mediator (and other party if relevant) for review.
Mediations are scheduled for a day to ensure enough time is had for discussions to reach agreement. (complexity of the situation may require more or less time).
We have simplified our process below.

How Much Does Mediation Cost?
Hire a Mediator, not a lawyer.
At JRB Mediations we are exceptional at what we do, and cost significantly less than a lawyer mediating your dispute - we specialize in mediation.
We focus on what will work for you and the other disputant(s) to resolve your situation quickly, efficiently, fairly, and with care.
Overall COST of mediation is dependent upon the complexity of the situation and number of issues to mediate.
As complexity increases, so too does the number of hours needed for mediation.
Vastly cheaper than any lawyer:
COST for a typical Mediation is $2,500 to $3,500+ per person and is usually completed within 14 days.
Complex mediations (multiple parties and issues, multiple processes, involved information) may cost about $8,000 to $10,000 +/- and completed within a month.
Hours needed to conclude mediation is dependent upon complexity, information to be collected and reviewed, issues to be mediated, process required, and willingness of the parties to resolve.
Retainer fee is required and is based upon an estimated number of hours needed for the process and an hourly fee.
The retainer (and fees) covers pre-mediation interviews, review of documents, strategy development, preparation and conducting of the mediation, drafting agreements and/or reports, room rentals, administrative fees, and other related costs.
Workplace mediations are provided a proposal with estimated hours and costs.
The training and thought processes of a mediator differ greatly from those of a lawyer, making a lawyer potentially unsuitable for your mediation needs.
Lawyer’s role: represent one party and have them emerge victorious
Mediator’s goal: win-win agreement through consensus - everyone feels victorious
