FAQ
How do I know if "Mediation" is for me?
You need not bear the burden of making this determination on your own. Our proficient onboarding staff possesses the expertise to assess whether your specific legal requirements align with our flat-rate service and to what degree.
A helpful method to gauge the suitability of our services for your needs is by referring to our Pricing page, which outlines suggested use cases.
Should our team conclude, following your complimentary consultation an attorney utilizing an hourly or retainer-based model would better serve your needs, we will seamlessly transition your case to our parent company, "Billick Mediation and Family Law." Rest assured; you will continue to receive the same compassionate and experienced support from our dedicated staff.
What happens if we agree to a flat-rate service, but our case goes beyond the original agreed scope?
Our highly skilled onboarding staff is adept at conducting thorough assessments to recommend and provide accurate and upfront pricing for our services. While it is uncommon for our flat-rate services to exceed the defined scope, if unforeseen circumstances arise and the workload surpasses the initial expectations, our team proactively communicates well in advance before reaching the original quote.
Together, we can collaboratively re-evaluate and make necessary adjustments. We prioritize transparency and assure you we will never spring unexpected hourly-rate charges upon you.
In the case of divorce, is the "flat-price" price per person? Will my ex and I both have to pay that individually?
No, our pricing is not considered "per person".
Our flat-rate pricing systems are comprehensive and transparent. We do not impose hidden fees or convoluted provisions to navigate. When determining the final pricing, we consider two key factors: the presence or absence of children and the underlying themes or complexities of the legal matter.
If I choose the "flat-rate" method, am I getting a lower-quality experience?
Certainly not. By selecting our flat-rate mediation services, you are assured the knowledge of highly experienced mediators in a streamlined and predictable process without compromising quality.

If my "ex" and I are on relatively good terms, why not just do a DIY divorce on our own?
If you are considering a do-it-yourself divorce, there are important factors to bear in mind:
- While some jurisdictions provide convenient access to downloadable forms, you maybe be left uncertain about the sufficiency of the online documents or how to use them.
- Divorce cases are often more complex than initially anticipated. Our experienced mediators can ensure you’ve considered various financial implications of dividing complex assets.
