Court Certified Mediation Serrvices
About Mediation Services:
Manny Fernandez certified by the State of Florida as an experienced civil lawyer and litigation mediator.
“Mediation” is a process whereby a neutral third person called a "mediator" acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties. This informal and non-adversarial process helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and voluntary agreement.
The role of the mediator is to assist the parties in identifying the issues, fostering joint problem solving, creating a safe and comfortable environment for the free exchange of ideas and airing differences, and exploring settlement alternatives. The mediator is NOT a judge; does not make rulings; and does not evaluate the case or take sides in the process. The role of the mediator is to manage the process through which parties resolve their conflict, and not to decide how the conflict should be resolved.
Having a Dispute? Conflict resolution in mediation is a preferable alternative to court litigation. Mediation allows the parties to resolve their differences quickly without the costly efforts of court trials and appeals. This informal process uses an impartial third party or mediation attorney to help the disputing parties to resolve their conflict on a mutual decision.
