Video – Attorney Bill Leininger Explains How The Divorce Mediation Fees Are Determined

Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media


You’ve mentioned a couple of costs of that. Is it just based upon hours and that’s how it, it’s not based upon any sliding scale with the assets, it’s just based upon your hourly rate, is that correct?

Bill Leininger – Divorce Mediation Attorney – Richmond County, NY

It’s unethical in all 50 states in America for a divorce attorney to have a percentage basis based upon the assets. We would all have loved that if that was permissible. We’d have million-dollar mansions but it’s unethical and so, no, that’s never affected.


It’s basically the time of the mediator, the price that the real estate appraiser charges, the price that the pension actuary charges for the report of the cop’s pension, for example. It’s just that there’s no percentage of the asset.
