Florida Condominium, Homeowners' Association Mediation

South Florida has been perhaps the most vibrant real estate market in the United States for more than 30 years. In fact, American-style condominium living was actually pioneered in the region.

One happy consequence of this phenomenon is that the lifestyle choices for condominium dwellers and homeowners in South Florida are endless. However, with this freedom has also come an abundance of legal conflict - the kind which places an enormous strain on the Florida court system.

On July 1, 2007, the state legislature enacted laws aimed at relieving the clogged court system. This new legislation requires those involved in Florida condominium and homeowners' association (HOA) disputes to undertake mandatory mediation as an initial method of resolving their conflict.

Confidential, Cost-Effective, Time-Saving

Mediation, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a confidential process designed to enable parties to resolve their differences through discussion and cooperative problem solving. It offers many benefits to participants, such as:

• Eliminating the risk of letting a judge or jury decide the outcome
• Permitting the parties to negotiate a settlement with mutually acceptable terms
• Allowing parties to resolve disputes in a timely manner, as opposed to the months or even years (including appeals) that litigation may require.
• Taking place in a friendly setting instead of in the adversarial atmosphere of the courtroom
• Sharing of costs
• Having litigation remain as an option in the event mediation fails
