Resolving Conflict Through Mediation

Legal problems don’t always have to be solved in the courtroom. Some issues can be resolved instead through mediation – a process that allows the parties to the conflict to retain more control over the process and outcome of the case. Mediation is often more cost-effective than traditional litigation as well. Whether you have a personal injury, product liability conflict, a medical malpractice claim, a hurricane disaster claim or another legal challenge, Robert Heath can serve as the neutral party helping you navigate to a successful resolution through the mediation process. Robert Heath has performed thousands of mediations over 27 years.

Virtual Mediation

The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 created a backlog of civil cases, the after-effects of which are still felt by courts across Florida today.

Recognizing that a different way of providing ADR services was of critical importance, Robert was one of the first mediators in Florida to offer online mediations via Zoom, thereby assuring Florida lawyers that cases could still be resolved although the courts were shut down.

Since then, Robert has conducted over 700 virtual mediations and has resolved cases all across Florida from Pensacola to Miami, in all Florida federal districts, and in 18 of Florida’s 20 judicial circuits.

Virtual mediation and other remote proceedings have been adopted by the Florida Supreme Court which encourages remote proceedings whenever possible.
