Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I firmly believe that I was coerced to sign a full settlement agreement at our last mediation while under duress from all the surrounding pressures I was experiencing from the mediator and my lawyer. Do I legally have a right to get it amended or modified before I go in front of the judge for the final hearing?

The burden will be upon you to show that the Mediation Agreement should be vacated.

If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.

The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
