At Best Family Mediators, we specialize in Helping People Resolve their Divorces and
Paternity Matters Without Court
and Without Lawyers
No Lawyer Required
(Self-Represented Parties)
You're not required to have an attorney in a Florida family law case. In fact, over 90% of people who get divorced in Florida do so without lawyers. After serving as a General Magistrate for years, Erin became accustomed to hearing cases where neither side had an attorney, and is especially cognizant of issues unique to self-represented individuals. Lauren has extensive experience providing advice and counsel to a wide-range of people, ensuring that each person obtained a clear understanding of decisions that needed to be made. Both Erin and Lauren will ensure that each participant is treated with the utmost respect and dignity during the mediation process.
Mediate Before Going to Court
(Pre-Suit Mediation)
Did you know that you can attend a voluntary mediation even before filing your case?
Imagine having everything settled in a written agreement that you can file along with your initial Petition. Think of the cost savings of avoiding lengthy litigation and attorneys charging by the hour! As long as both parties consent, you can schedule a mediation just the same as if you had already filed your case.
Convenience
No more waiting in line at the Courthouse or taking a day off from work. Erin's and Lauren’s
flexible scheduling and virtual environments make it convenient to schedule your mediation on your timetable.
