How to start a mediation

How to start a mediation:
1.Contact a mediator and request mediation services.
2. The mediator will contact the other party by email, US mail or by phone.
3. I have done one international meditation by telephone but prefer all parties (decision makers) to be in the same room.
4. I am not limited to doing mediations in VA. I can go anywhere.
5.A agreement to mediate is signed before the mediation begins.
6. I charge $75 hr and expect immediate payment per the terms of the agreement to mediate.
