Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Re: civil action

Yes, in fact it is probably required by the Court. Customarily, when a civil suit is filed, the Judge will, at some point, order the parties to mediation. Absent some agreement to the contrary, that mediation must be split amongst the parties equally.

However, there is a silver lining to every dark cloud. Often, the cost of the mediation, provided it results in a resolution, will be less expensive than continuing to litigate.

I have done many mediations in the past, and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with you. Please contact me at your convenience.
