Family Mediation Florida

---

As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, I provide family law mediation services to people with divorce and other family law disputes. In order to certify mediators in family law mediation Florida authorities require certain conditions to be met including specific training and mediation observations. I have met those requirements and have settled hundreds of cases throughout my legal career.

Why Mediation is a Good Idea

Mediation allows parties to retain the control in their case rather than giving it to a judge. Who is better to make decisions about your family? You or a complete stranger? Only you know what are the important aspects of your family life and how best to weigh one against another. 

Over the years, as a family mediator in Florida I have helped many people use those most important aspects to create offers and counter-offers that actually make sense and can be discussed in a positive way. Most people come to me during stressful times in their lives. I understand that. My job is to make this part of the process easier to understand and less overwhelming so that you can look at what is important to you and what is important to the other party and come up with an agreement that actually works for you both. 

How I Approach Family Law Mediation

Every family is different.

Some cases are simple. Others are complicated and emotional. I take time to listen first before deciding the best way forward. And I ask questions. Because it is only by asking “Why” that we can get to the truth of what matters. Once we know what really matters it is easier to work together for a common solution. 

During mediation, we go step by step through each issue. I help keep the conversation focused so it does not turn into conflict and each party feels safe to express their thoughts and suggestions and feels heard during the process.

Virtual Mediation Options

I also provide virtual mediation services Florida litigants can participate in to avoid having to travel to another office. These sessions take place online through secure video calls. People can join from home or another private location.

This option is helpful for families who live in different areas or cannot travel easily.

In allowing for virtual family mediation Florida judges understand that allowing participants to be comfortable in their own homes may assist them in staying calm and working toward agreement. There is no travel, no waiting room and no sterile environment.

But even though the meeting is online, the process is the same. I still guide the discussion and help both sides work toward solutions.

Moving Forward

I bring experience, patience, and a steady approach to every case.

My goal is simple: to help people move forward in a clear and practical way, with less stress and more understanding.
