Mediation offers an alternative to litigation that can be more efficient, less expensive, and less adversarial. It is a process that promotes collaboration and mutual agreement while preserving confidentiality and avoiding the delays and costs of a courtroom trial.

Whether you are navigating a difficult divorce, a contractual disagreement, or a real estate dispute, our mediators are here to guide you through a respectful, solutions-oriented process tailored to your specific situation.

What is Mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary and confidential dispute resolution process where a neutral third party—the mediator—helps the parties involved in a conflict reach a mutually agreeable resolution. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator does not impose a decision. Instead, they facilitate productive conversation, identify common ground, clarify points of disagreement, and work with the parties to develop solutions they both find acceptable.

The process is private, and any settlement reached during mediation can be legally binding, depending on the context and agreements signed by the parties. Mediation is particularly valuable in situations where parties have an ongoing relationship—such as parents, business partners, neighbors, or association members—and prefer to avoid the hostility and cost of litigation.

Types of Mediation Services Offered

Our mediation practice covers a broad range of civil and family law matters. At St. Augustine Beach Attorney, we regularly provide mediation services for:

Family and Divorce Mediation
We assist couples and families in resolving issues such as timesharing (custody), child support, equitable distribution of property and assets, spousal support (alimony), and post-judgment modifications. Our mediators understand the emotional and legal complexities of family disputes and strive to help parties reach fair and lasting agreements.

Business and Contract Mediation
Disputes among business partners, clients, vendors, or shareholders can often be resolved through strategic negotiation and facilitated communication. Our mediators have extensive experience in business and corporate law, which allows them to help businesses navigate disagreements over contracts, ownership, services, and financial obligations.

Real Estate Mediation
Our team includes real estate attorneys and title professionals who regularly mediate disputes involving boundary lines, easements, contract terms, failed closings, landlord-tenant conflicts, and other property-related matters. We help real estate professionals, buyers, sellers, and landlords find workable solutions that protect their interests and avoid litigation delays.

Construction Dispute Mediation
From payment disputes and defect claims to change orders and construction delays, we mediate construction matters involving contractors, subcontractors, developers, homeowners, and suppliers. With knowledge of Florida’s construction law, we can facilitate resolution with clarity and fairness.

Homeowner and Condominium Association (HOA and Condo) Mediation
Board members and property owners often find themselves at odds over enforcement of covenants, dues, repairs, and community rules. Mediation can help preserve neighborly relations and ensure that disputes are handled with transparency and professionalism.

Probate and Estate Disputes
Inheritances, will contests, and trust administration disagreements can divide families and result in long, costly litigation. Our mediators work with families to resolve issues related to probate, estate planning, fiduciary obligations, and distribution of assets while minimizing emotional strain and preserving family relationships when possible.
