I was very pleased with the help I received from Attorney Langford. I represent a non-profit organization here in Daytona Beach and needed help with some banking issues. Ms. Langford got back to me quickly and was extremely helpful in resolving our problems. She was very knowledgeable of our issues and I would not hesitate to use her services for any other business related concerns.

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney! Giovani is absolutely incredible. My case was a bit more complicated and he could not have handled it any better. He navigated the legal side of things brilliantly and at the same time managed to help me get through it as well. I went through a very stressful and emotionally taxiing experience but he treated me with grace and compassion. Most people say you should never trust an attorney but when it comes to this lawyer, they couldn't be more wrong. I am so grateful I put my trust in him and will always be grateful for his help!

My wife was shopping ,was in good mental health and reasonably good physical health, when all of a sudden, she was on her back unable to get up. She sustained a concussion that gave her brain bleed that has affected not only her short term memory but a good deal of her long term memory. In order to seek compensation for our loss I began to seek a good lawyer. One that had a had a good standing with judges. I asked my neighbor, who worked for a judge, for a recommendation. He in turn asked the circuit judge who in turn recommended Mr. Kolodinsky. This was one of the few smart things I have done in my life. Mr.Kolodinsky always was very courteous as was his office and always had time to explain things to me. I am satisfied that I had as good and speedy a conclusion as could be expected

I have for years referred complicated personal injury cases, including medical malpractice to Rick Kolodinsky. When I was injured in an accident and my UM carrier made a "low ball" offer, I retained Rick, who filed suit and got me an excellent recovery. In addition to his professional success, Rick is a great guy who is easy to talk to about may subjects.

Lori Sandman took on a custody case for my husband and me in which she has exceeded our expectations with the amount of time she puts into her work. She is very hardworking, personable, detailed, pours her heart into her work and extremely humble. Their was never a moment that she made us feel like we were just another case load on her desk. Even at times when we wanted to give up and throw the white flag she was always there to stand up and say no this is worth fighting for. I would highly recommend Lori to any personal friend of mine and even a complete stranger because their is no doubt in my mind that she will not give anything less that 110% at all times. We all like to believe we know everything but, we really don't if their was a time Lori didn't have the answer she would not rest until she knew all their is to know about it. You know us as clients when looking for an attorney often say great is this person really going to help us, do they really care. It's not their life why should they. Well I am honored to say that I have be able to experience the greatest service from an attorney that I would have never thought possible. Because , we have become more than just a client we have built a friendship like our owe family.

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.
