Travel requiring a driving distance outside San Diego County may incur an additional travel fee of $250. This fee reflects the increased transportation expenses, and operational costs associated with extended travel. The travel fee will be disclosed in advance whenever possible and must be paid prior to or at the time of service.

I require cases to be submitted to me 60 days in advance of any mediation or court hearing, with the expectation that the completed report will be delivered to you within 30 to 45 days after I receive the case for assignment and retainment. This timeframe is necessary because I maintain a waitlist, do not overbook, and allocate the time needed to provide thorough, detail‑oriented attention to each case. All case reviews and reports are completed during weekends to ensure the highest level of quality and accuracy.

I prefer to have a discussion beforehand to determine whether I can meet the expectations and timelines for your case. However, if the records change or become significantly more extensive, I may need to reassess my other obligations to ensure I am not compromising any existing responsibilities or commitments to other executive officials. Should that occur, I will immediately communicate with you transparently and work collaboratively to determine the best path forward, including recommending trusted business partners if needed. In the event you have paid in full for a review of records and a written report, and I am unable to complete the assigned task due to increased demands or changes to the initial agreement, I will bill at a rate of $200 per hour for the work already completed and will provide you with all completed portions of the work.
