I cannot recommend Mr. Ibrahim Ayyub highly enough for his exceptional work as an immigration attorney. From the moment he took on my case, he demonstrated unmatched professionalism, thoroughness, and dedication. After having a negative experience with other lawyers, I was truly amazed by how efficiently and expertly he handled my case. Thanks to his extraordinary efforts, everything was resolved in just a few weeks—a testament to his expertise and commitment. He is, without a doubt, the best attorney I have ever worked with, and I am incredibly grateful for his outstanding service. Thank you so much

It is stressful finding the precise attorney to rectify an unlawful/unethical housing conflict within a condominium association. With that said, I know, because I spoke with several attorneys, and when I found Richard Heiden my search ended. His professionalism and expertise are of excellent merit and ability. His knowledge of condominum law is beyond commendable. His strategy and tactics are ahead of opposing counsel at all times. He cares about your personal outcome, and is emotionally attached to your well-being throughout the relationship. His listening skills are superior, thus he provided insightful and steadfast results for my case.

Robert Todd is the best mediator and negotiator I've ever come across. I've been through mediation numerous times before. Robert knows how to handle people. I don't think my case would have turned out the way it did unless he were involved. He put 110% in once he saw how much I cared for my child. He worked right up until the last second to get the best deal for my child.

Dealing with lawyers and insurance companies can be hectic and overwhelming in most cases, but Ingram Law Firm took 95% of that burden off of me. From the initial introduction meeting, up until my case closed, Ingram Law made sure I understood, and was comfortable about the decisions being made in order to have a positive outcome with my case; every one on their team was sympathetic to my situation, and made sure there was always a open line of communication whenever needed. This family owned practice treated and fought for me as family, and I can not thank them enough. 🙂

I have been dealing with driving without a license for several years about eight to be exact I had gone through a couple of public defenders and paid attorneys from Naples to Fort Myers to Sarasota and here in St Petersburg. I've spent a lot of money and spent a lot of time in jail because of this even accepted a felony charge I was on the telephone with Miss Johansson explaining my situation, with in not even 15 minutes she precisely explained the law to me and that I should have never spent even one minute in jail or been convicted as a felon because my license was suspended for fines just blew me away when we went to court in front of the same judge who had convicted me of the felony missed your handsome was calm cool collective and very professional my opinion the only professional in the building at that time. Should I ever get in trouble again with the law I will go directly to Ms Johansson and I'd recommend you do the same God bless have a great day.

When you think of Donna K. Rose, you can think and know Donna has a strong and long history of harassing a qualified disabled person, in league with her attorney buddies. The student at St. Pete College, where Donna hides out and refuses to represent public clients b/c she is too scared, requested that Donna allow him to bring in a friend to a classroom of a non-law class Donna was newly teaching. The student came into class with no assistance for his disabilities because Donna denied him that reasonable right to follow discussions in class, then a student bothered the disabled male, to which Donna later started working with SPC attorneys to follow the disabled person around Pinellas county and get him into legal trouble, more harassment, and definite conflict of interest, fraudulent cases involving other SPC faculty and staff Donna hides behind because she is just too damn scared to file her own party cases. If you know what's good and earnest, you'd do best to keep far away from Donna K. Rose, who is a meek, slimey, greedy, and worthless attorney.

I had to get a separation agreement, and had Attorney Rose do it for me. I knew very little about how I should protect myself for later. She listened to my story and figured out the agreement. This was about 4 years ago. I have to say that at the time I did not realized the great work she had done, but as time went by every time I had a concern or my ex came up with a new "trick" I looked at the agreement and she had covered the subject. I cannot say enough about her honesty and truly caring and professional treatment she delivered to me.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You

A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.

Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:

  • Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
  • Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
  • Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
  • Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
  • Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
  • Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
  • Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
  • Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
  • Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
  • Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
  • Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
  • Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.

How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?

Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
  • Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.

Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.

How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
  • Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer

Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case.
  3. What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
    Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation.
  4. How long will the mediation process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests.
  6. Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
    Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
  • Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
  • Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
  • List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
  • Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
  • Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
