Mediation
Mediation is a powerful tool for resolving family law disputes. According to Florida Statute, mediation is a process where a neutral third person, a mediator, encourages and facilitates the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties. Mediation is an informal, non-adversarial process aimed at helping disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement. With extensive experience in mediation, our mediator, Fred Dedrick, is well-equipped to facilitate effective communication and negotiation between parties.
Why Mediate?
Mediation offers numerous benefits, including:
- Reduced costs, both monetary and emotional

- Flexibility to tailor solutions to meet the unique needs of each case
- Increased control over the outcome, enabling parties to make informed decisions
How Mediation Works

Our mediator, Fred Dedrick, will facilitate negotiation and encourage parties to consider their "bottom line" list, identifying what they are willing to accept to settle their case.
