What is mediation?

​

As defined by Florida law, mediation is a process whereby a neutral third person, called a mediator, acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties. It is an informal and non-adversarial process with the objective of helping the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement. In mediation, decision-making authority rests with the parties. The role of the mediator includes, but is not limited to, assisting the parties in identifying issues, fostering joint problem-solving, and exploring settlement alternatives. [Section 44.1011(1), Florida Statutes]

Mr. Schultz is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator who believes mediation provides a valuable opportunity for parties to discuss their issues and consider creative solutions to their disputes. When serving as a mediator, he does not provide legal advice or represent either party. Instead, he facilitates productive conversations and supports the parties in exploring options for resolution. Mediation is a neutral process, and each party should have independent legal counsel review any agreements reached before signing. Mr Schultz looks forward to explaining this process in detail and answering any questions you may have.
