All services are charged at the rate of $450 per hour. This rate is charged for review of briefs, necessary preparation for the mediation, hearing or conference, and the writing of any documents or opinions emanating from the session (s). Any legal research performed by others at the judge's request will be billed at cost. For services rendered in Los Angeles County, San Bernadino County, Imperial County and beyond, our office will bill counsel for the judge's travel, lodging and meal costs as may be set at time of engagement.

Fees are payable in advance on a pro-rata basis. After counsel and their clients agree to retain the judge for his services, a confirmation letter and invoice will be sent to counsel. The amount of the advance fee will be the hourly rate times the estimated number of hours contemplated for the session (s). If the time estimated is more than the time utilized, a refund will be mailed immediately following the session. If the time expended for the matter exceeds the estimated time, a supplemental statement will be mailed to counsel immediately following the session.

Judicate West provides conference rooms at no additional charge and they are located at 402 West Broadway Suite #2000, San Diego, CA 92101. Judge Moon is also open to Counsel providing meeting rooms at their own facility.

All fees and costs are the responsibility of counsel for the parties. Except for parties appearing in propria persona, no billings will be sent to clients, insurance companies, or third parties.

Cancellation of a scheduled session of more than two (2) days duration received less than twenty-eight (28) calendar days before the first scheduled date, will result in a one hundred percent (100%) cancellation charge.
