Family & Matrimonial Law
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.

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.
