Florida Appellate Mediation
Appeals can be complex, stressful, and uncertain. Appellate mediation offers a structured opportunity to address issues with clarity, creativity, and purpose – before or alongside the formal court process.
At Florida Dispute Resolution, LLC, we offer appellate mediation services that assists the parties and attorneys engage in thoughtful, productive discussions to assist in potential resolution without further litigation. Led by experienced attorney Katie Hinkle, Esq., our firm provides a neutral and structured process to facilitate communication, negotiate settlements, and avoid the time and expense of appellate litigation.
Why Mediate Appellate Disputes?
Appellate mediation is a confidential process in which a neutral mediator helps participants explore resolution options in a case on appeal. While the legal issues may already be framed, the people involved often have broader concerns—financial, emotional, relational, reputational, or systemic. Mediation provides space to address those interests directly.
Appellate mediation differs from trial-level mediation in several ways:
Legal and procedural issues are more sharply defined.
The parties’ positions may be more firmly established.
The costs of continued litigation—including time, money, and stress—are often higher.
Appellate mediation can provide several benefits to the parties involved in an appellate dispute. It assists the parties control the outcome, reduce the risk of further litigation, and save resources. Continued appeals can require extensive briefing, record preparation, and time-consuming procedures that can be a lengthy process. Mediation can assists the parties to assess legal and practical risks before committing to further litigation and removes the unpredictability of appellate litigation.
