FEE AND EXPENSE PRACTICE:

      $1100 per diem for hearing, preparation, travel

           

Cancellation - If case is withdrawn or settled before a hearing date is set, $50; if case is cancelled more than four weeks before scheduled hearing, $100; if case is canceled less than four weeks but more than fifteen days before the scheduled hearing, $550; if case is canceled fifteen days or less before scheduled hearing, $1100.

 

Postponements - There may be a charge for postponements depending upon their timing and the inconvenience caused.  The cancellation fee will be charged if the case is postponed and then is not heard subsequently. 

 

Expenses - Expenses for public transportation, car rentals, lodgings, meals are billed at cost.  Mileage is billed at 50 cents per mile.  I purchase non-refundable economy class air tickets to keep down the cost.  If I have purchased tickets and then have to change them because of postponement or cancellation, I bill for the change fee and the travel agent’s fee.  Other expenses (e.g. secretarial, photocopying, postage, telephone) are normally included in the per diem charges, unless that are excessive.

 

Please note:      If you wish to have an "official record" of the proceeding, you must arrange for a neutral reporter. I make notes to supplement my recollection, but these notes do not constitute the "official record" and are not available to the parties under any circumstances. These notes are discarded once my jurisdiction has expired.

 

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