Mediation

Although many disputes begin with a lawsuit, a majority of them do not end in a trial before a judge or jury. One of the major reasons behind this is that the State of Vermont and Federal Judicial systems require that the parties engage in mediation before they can litigate the merits of their case.

Senior Partner Evan Chadwick offers mediation services either before or after a suit has been filed.

Capped Mediation Fees

One of the many frustrating aspects of litigation are the costs associated with navigating the case through the judicial process. Mediation services are a significant expense litigants can face and in most cases, mediation is required both by the Vermont and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Most mediators will charge a straight hourly rate that can, depending on the experience of the mediator, exceed $300 per hour.

Chadwick, Spensley & Fox offers a capped rate per day for Attorney Chadwick’s mediation services. This ensures that all parties are on the same page as to cost when they enter mediation, which allows them to focus solely on finding the middle ground needed to resolve their dispute as opposed to the unknown cost of exploring these options.
