FEE AND EXPENSE PRACTICE:

            I charge a per diem fee of $1,000 for each day of hearing, mediation, analysis, study and writing, plus actual expenses (meals, lodging and mileage).  Mileage reimbursement is charged at the then current IRS rate.  The full per diem will be charged for any hearing or mediation day.  Travel that occurs outside the hearing date will be prorated at the per diem rate.  Analysis, study and writing requiring less than a full day will be also prorated at the per diem rate. 

            Cancellation Policy:  If the scheduled hearing is cancelled or postponed with notice of less than four (4) calendar weeks (28 days), but more than three (3) calendar weeks (21 days) the per diem rate for each day of scheduled hearing shall be $750 if another matter cannot be set in its place.  If the scheduled hearing is cancelled or postponed with notice of less than three (3) calendar weeks (21 days), the per diem rate for each day of scheduled hearing shall be $1,000 if another matter cannot be set in its place.

 

NOTE:                        The arbitrator shall not charge any fee other than the above stated fees.
