Orlando Mediation Attorneys

central florida mediation expertsMediation is a process used to resolve disputes either before or after a lawsuit is filed.

A neutral third party, usually an attorney experienced in the area or a retired judge, serves as a mediator to help the parties resolve their dispute without the need for a court to determine their issues. If the mediation is successful, then a mediated settlement agreement is executed by the parties. It is possible to resolve some issues at mediation and not others. In that event, the parties can enter into a partial mediation agreement, narrowing the issues that a court must determine. The attorneys at DeWitt Law Firm are trained and skilled in guiding our clients through the mediation process.
