Mediators & Mediation

St. Augustine Area's Largest Law Group

Trusted Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediators for Family, Civil, Probate, and Real Estate Disputes

Welcome to the largest group of certified mediators and the most comprehensive mediation facility in the St. Augustine area. At St. Johns Law Group, we offer highly experienced attorney-mediators and a state-of-the-art mediation center for clients throughout St. Augustine, St. Johns County, and surrounding areas.

Our experienced team of Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediators includes attorneys who have spent years litigating the very disputes they now help resolve—giving them a unique perspective on how to guide parties toward meaningful resolution.

Whether you are facing a divorce, probate dispute, contract disagreement, or real estate issue, mediation allows parties to resolve conflict privately, faster, and with more control over the outcome than traditional courtroom litigation.


What is Mediation?

Mediation is a structured, confidential process where a neutral third party—the mediator—helps disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator does not impose a decision but facilitates negotiation and communication to promote settlement.

In many Florida legal matters, mediation is required before a trial can proceed. Even when not required, it is often the most effective tool for reducing legal costs, preserving relationships, and minimizing emotional strain.


Why Choose Our Mediators?

Unlike standalone mediation services, our mediators are Florida Supreme Court Certified and practicing attorneys, each with over 20 years of legal experience in the very areas they mediate. This depth of knowledge ensures practical insight, legal fluency, and effective negotiation strategies—qualities essential to resolving even the most complex disputes.

Whether you’re dealing with a family law issue, real estate matter, civil dispute, or local government concern, our mediators bring the background and experience necessary to guide parties to resolution.
