Civil & Family Law Mediation in Tampa, Florida

Good Mediation Starts Before Everyone Enters the Room

Mediation time should be spent working through the dispute, not bringing the mediator up to speed.


Stacy reviews the case in advance to understand the central issues, competing positions, and circumstances surrounding the dispute. That preparation allows the mediation to focus on evaluating risk, addressing difficult issues, and identifying realistic options for resolution.


Once mediation begins, Stacy listens closely and works to understand what may be standing in the way of progress. When necessary, she is willing to challenge an assumption, address an uncomfortable issue, or ask the question that has not yet been asked.
