I have been a civil litigator in Southwest Florida and the surrounding areas for nearly 34 years, having been involved in approximately 75 jury trials. In 2017, I began turning my attention to alternative dispute resolution, having participated in hundreds of mediations throughout my career, as well as numerous arbitrations. Having witnessed for decades in my own practice, the invaluable tool of mediation,. I felt as though I could use my extensive litigation experience to help in resolving even more cases through the mediation and/or arbitration process. The goal is to enthusiastically be involved in this process and to assist in resolving all matters of disputes. Over the last few years, I had experienced that the 80% settlement rate in mediations was slipping.. Our home base, with our offices being located in Fort Myers, Florida, has primarily been in the 20th Judicial Circuit, though I have handled many cases and matters in surrounding counties such as Highlands, Okeechobee, Sarasota, Hardee, Charlotte, Hendry, and Desoto . Increasingly, judges are ordering non-binding arbitrations, especially in cases that are estimated to take longer than usual to try, and I am well equipped to handle this procedure.. While our focus is helping to resolve matters out of court, we do handle a variety of legal matters on selected issues.
