1st meeting, about an hour, should equal rate. For example: Rate = $300/hour, consult x 1 hour = $300. Some will negotiate, most will not. Beware of a 'bargain', there is no such thing as a free lunch. There is a script, and a packet with a bunch of junk to read. Sorry, I'm in a bad mood, it's actually quite well-planned out, and if you LISTEN carefully enough times, you could teach a class on it. A mediator can help you understand the forms just as well...is that an option? Otherwise, welcome to the D Train.
