“A good settlement is better than a good lawsuit”
Abraham Lincoln

Thank you for visiting the Farbman Mediation Group Website. We welcome the opportunity to mediate your case and bring it to a successful resolution.

By introduction, I am admitted to practice law in Florida and New Jersey, working as a trial lawyer since 1985. I was most proud to be certified by the Florida Bar as a specialist in civil trial law in 1994, an honor I still hold today. In addition, I am pleased to be a certified and court-appointed mediator for more than 20 years. My experience as a trial lawyer both for the plaintiff and defense has proved invaluable in achieving success in helping countless parties successfully resolve their issues, avoiding the uncertainties and expense of a trial. Mediation has some similarities to litigation. Perhaps the single most important task of a mediator is to listen. Whether it was a witness on the stand, or in mediation, a party, attorney, or claims adjuster at mediation, listening to what each has to say and learning what is important to each, is paramount. Once an understanding is gained, I am able to impart my past life and working experiences to aid in shedding a little more light on the issues, allowing the parties to make informed decisions in their best interests. Compromise is always necessary, but there is no reason why a successful mediation cannot bring closure with both parties feeling the settlement was in each of their best interests.

I look forward to mediating your next case and always free to contact me if you would like to learn more.

To reserve a mediation session, please select from any of the available dates below. A quick ONLINE APPOINTMENT REQUEST will collect contact details and case information. Once submitted, we will be in touch as quickly as possible.

Fees
Our mediation fees are $250.00/hour, per party for two party cases and $200.00 per hour, per party for multiple party cases. We do not charge for preparation time and never charge for cancellations. As a fellow trial lawyer, I know that circumstance sometimes arise which are beyond our control, necessitating the mediation to be rescheduled for a later date. And when certain time restrains occur, I can make myself available for weekend mediations upon request. Please view the calendar below for available dates and times.

*Weekend dates are available upon request

COVID-19 UPDATE – VIDEO CONFERENCING NOW OFFERED
Farbman Mediation Group is now available to mediate throughout the country via Zoom video conferencing. It is an effective way to bring all the parties together when an in-person mediation is not feasible. Just like a “real” mediation, Zoom allows for a joint session and for caucusing in separate, confidential, break-out rooms. Documents can be shared and a settlement agreement can be executed through DocuSign. We are here to make the process as easy as possible for you and your clients. We wish you all health and safety during these trying times.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
