What Does It Cost ?
My compensation system is admittedly unusual. In short, I bill at $330
per hour for my services but do not require payment. I request this
compensation. Why do I set a fee and then make it optional? Because I
only want people to offer payment to me to the extent they are happy
doing so. I want all aspects of my relationship with clients to be of a
peaceful and voluntary nature.
What do clients end up contributing under this system? Around half of
my clients offer the rate of $330 per hour. Others might contribute $225
per hour or $175 per hour, or even on occasion, nothing. In all, people
provide to me at a level of their own choosing. They do so because they
believe my services -- in saving them tremendous grief, time and money
-- in deepening their understanding of their own needs and others' --
significantly enhance the quality of their lives. They either wish to
contribute to my life as I have contributed to theirs or wish to enable me
to contribute to others in a similar fashion. My hope is that they do so
voluntarily.
Given the impersonal and often-harsh nature of the legal system, some
find this economic arrangement refreshing. Others however are
somewhat suspicious. They believe that I will somehow pressure them
into offering at my billable rate. While many attorneys (and others) may
operate through coercive means, my goal is to only participate in
economic transactions which are motivated by appreciation and value. I
want no part in compensation arrived at by guilt, shame or threat.
Many clients naturally wonder if I’m independently wealthy or have some
other source of income. The answer is no. I have the same economic
needs as others. I have a family and a Bay Area mortgage. This is the
way I make my living. I offer my services with the goal of contributing
significantly to the lives of my clients. I ask for compensation at a level
commensurate with the marketplace and a level which contributes to my
happiness. I hope that clients will offer me what I request, but the extent
of the payment is always voluntary.

Costs are normally lowest
in Mediation, followed by
Collaborative Law.
Litigation (an adversarial
process which I do not
support) is by far the most
expensive in both
emotional and financial
terms.
