HOW IT WORKS
Upon submission of your case, MCLA charges an administrative fee of $150 per party, payable when you complete the case submission. Under the LASC Mediation Referral Program the first three hours of mediation are provided by a mediator at $300 per hour for a minimum of $900 divided equally among the parties unless otherwise agreed and paid directly to the mediator prior to setting the mediation date. If a mediation runs over three hours, and the parties agree to continue, the mediator will charge $300 per hour for all hours after the first three hours divided equally among the parties unless otherwise agreed to.
