Judge Schieber served as a Former Jackson County Circuit Court Judge for nearly 18 years. After 17+ years on the bench with the Jackson County Circuit Court, Judge Schieber retired to dedicate his full-time practice to mediation, arbitration and special master services. 

The billing rate is $425 per hour for preparation and conducting most mediations. However, the rate is $495 per hour for class action/multiparty cases if the mediation involves 4 or more parties. If the matter does not settle as a result of the mediation, our Mediators will continue to mediate the case by phone as long as there is any possibility mediation can resolve the case. There is no charge for follow up services unless the follow-up sessions are very time consuming and the time results in a settlement. For mediations requiring travel outside of the metropolitan area, any travel time is billed at 1/2 the hourly rate plus reasonable expenses for lodging, food and air. The parties to the case will share all mediation fees and expenses equally, unless otherwise agreed.
