Community Mediation
At Illinois Mediation Clinic, we believe clients deserve clear, upfront information about what to expect — including pricing. Our mediation services are structured to be cost-effective, efficient, and significantly more affordable than traditional litigation.
​
We offer a mix of flat-fee and hourly pricing, depending on the type and complexity of the matter. Fees are discussed with each client during the intake process to ensure full transparency before scheduling.
​
​
1. Any required or requested reports to the court, including interim reports, are done at no additional charge. 2. Hourly rates may differ from mediator to mediator overtime. If another session is booked for 2 hours then two hours need to be prepaid prior to the mediation session. Rates may also vary depending on the complexity of issues. 3. If sessions are not performed at either the Shelbyville location at 215 E Main Street or Champaign location at 301 N. Neil Street, Suite 400. No travel time for any remote/ video conference mediation. 4. Done only by agreement of parties and counsel. Both parties are highly encouraged to review with their own consulting attorney. These figures include any reasonable edits that need to be made. Minor changes (including typos) can be made with written correspondence by parties. 5. Performed only if agreed to by the mediator after reviewing domestic violence questionnaire to ensure the safety, autonomy and quality of the process. 6. Both parties are required to have their own consulting attorney
