A Smarter Path to Resolution

About Mediation

Not all mediation is the same. At our firm, mediation isn’t just a formality—it’s a focused, strategic process led by someone who understands both the law and human behavior. Nicole Weaver applies active listening, mindful questioning, and hundreds of hours of mediation experience to help participants reach meaningful, lasting resolutions.



This isn’t about shuttling offers back and forth. Nicole works directly with participants to uncover the true barriers behind conflict, build shared objectives, and guide parties toward creative, customized outcomes that preserve dignity and, when possible, relationships.

The Advantage of a Legally Trained Mediator

How we help

While Florida no longer requires mediators to be attorneys, having legal knowledge at the table offers a real advantage. Nicole doesn’t provide legal advice in mediation—but her deep understanding of the law empowers her to:


  • Identify and separate legal vs. emotional issues


  • Ask the right questions to move discussion forward


  • Facilitate productive, focused conversation


  • Keep the process fair, neutral, and forward-moving


This blend of legal training and emotional intelligence gives participants the clarity and structure needed to reach resolution faster—and with less friction.

Mediation FAQs

  • Do I need a lawyer to attend mediation with me?

    Not necessarily. Nicole serves as a neutral mediator, not as legal counsel for either party. If you already have legal representation, we’re happy to work in tandem with your attorney.

  • Is mediation binding?

    Only if both parties reach an agreement and sign a written settlement. Otherwise, the process is entirely voluntary.

  • What happens if we don’t settle during mediation?

    Mediation helps most parties reach resolution, but it isn’t mandatory to settle. If an agreement isn’t reached, your legal options—like arbitration or litigation—remain open.

  • Do you offer remote mediation?

    Yes. We regularly conduct virtual sessions for clients across Florida.
