Prepayment for a whole day session or for the estimated number of whole day sessions is required to be submitted by each party on or before the day of the services to be rendered. A retainer may also be required from the parties for services required by them to be rendered in preparation for, conducting or following any session. Any unused prepayment or retainer will be returned to the parties upon conclusion of the mediation or arbitration process. All sessions will be conducted at The Session Law Firm located at 2600 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri. I am willing to conduct sessions at any other location agreed upon by all the parties.
Travel time is charged at one-half the stated hourly rates, plus reasonable expenses incurred.
First, time and expenses that have already been incurred will be charged. Second, expenses contracted for that cannot be canceled without a fee or penalty will be charged. Third, if a mediation or arbitration is canceled on the day of the scheduled matter a cancellation charge may be made to the party or parties responsible. The exceptions to this policy are if the cancellation is beyond the control of a party or if it is by agreement of all the parties and myself. Home Page Darwin E. Johnson, Esq. 2600 Grand Blvd.
