MINIMUM SESSION TIME

Time is billed in quarter-hour increments.
Cancellation Policy
If a mediation is cancelled or rescheduled less than 21 calendar days prior to the scheduled session, each party will be billed for their portion of the applicable minimum fee.
This policy reflects the time reserved exclusively for the matter and the difficulty of refilling dates on short notice.
Billing & Payment
Travel Time and Expenses
Travel time (portal to portal) is billed at $300 per hour and divided equally among the parties. When necessary to attend an out-of-town mediation, airfare, lodging, rental cars, parking, and meals are billed at actual cost.
Payment Responsibility
Law firms and attorneys (not their clients) are billed and are responsible for the mediation fee. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice and is not contingent upon settlement, receipt of settlement funds, or payment by a client.
Past Due Accounts
Past due balances will accrue interest at the highest legal rate and may result in additional charges for time and costs associated with collection.
Pro Se Parties
Pro se litigants must make advance payment arrangements based upon anticipated charges or arrange payment at the conclusion of the mediation.
ANDREW'S EXPERIENCE
Andrew T. Marshall is Board Certified in Construction Law by The Florida Bar and serves as a Certified Circuit Civil Mediator. His practice is rooted in extensive experience representing general contractors, trade subcontractors, and design professionals in complex construction disputes throughout Florida.
As a former civil litigator, Andrew handled construction defect litigation, premises liability matters, personal injury claims, and commercial disputes. His litigation background provides practical insight into the legal, technical, and strategic considerations that influence settlement decisions in high-exposure cases.
