HOW IT WORKS
MCLA charges a non-refundable $150 administrative fee per party when the case is submitted. Through the LASC Mediation Referral Program, the first three hours of mediation cost a total of $900 ($300 per hour), which is typically split evenly between the parties unless they agree otherwise. This payment must be made directly to the mediator before scheduling. If the mediation goes beyond three hours, the mediator charges $300 per additional hour, also usually shared equally unless a different arrangement is made.
SUBMIT YOUR CASE
You must fill out the case submission form as completely and accurately as possible.
Pay Initial Fee
An initial administrative fee paid directly to MCLA of $150 is due upon submission. Each additional party is required to pay $150 as well.
*** ALL fees must be paid in order to be assigned a Mediator.
MCLA Mediators
MCLA will refer a mediator based on the type of case presented and the availability of the mediator to complete the mediation in an appropriate time frame.
