In addition to his work with the firm, Rami Shmuely has served as a licensed county court mediator. Florida’s court mediation services are available for county civil, family law, and dependency cases.
Court mediators provide mediation services for disputing parties to help them reach an agreement on contending issues. They encourage cooperation between the involved parties and facilitate resolutions through joint problem solving and the exploration of alternative settlements. Communications and information exchanged during the mediation process also remains confidential. If the parties involved are unable to come to an agreement, then the case may go to trial.
Mediation services provide a number of benefits. The cooperative nature of the process allows parties to decide upon mutually beneficial terms, rather than following orders determined by a judge. Mediation services also cost less than resolving a case in court and may not take as long depending on how long it takes the involved parties to reach a solution.
