Florida Mediation and Arbitration
Experience. Perspective. Resolution.

Whether serving as mediator or arbitrator, the objective is straightforward: understand the issues, identify what truly drives the dispute, and provide a fair, efficient and focused process designed to move the matter toward resolution.
Why choose an experienced trial lawyer as a mediator?
As a trial lawyer for over 50 years, I have experienced the multiple stages of litigation involving many different types of cases. The litigation process can be complex and nuanced and I have navigated all stages of litigation. I know what it takes to prove a case, how to present it, how to respond to the adversary, when to push forward, when to hold back, and most importantly how to respect and represent a client. These skills translate directly to mediation skills to understand the stage of the litigation, the likelihood of success of the parties, the strong and weak parts of the parties’ case, the probable outcome of the litigation, and how best to achieve an agreement among the parties. My trial experience enables me to recognize litigation risks, evaluate competing positions, identify obstacles to settlement and help parties make informed decisions without advocating for either side.
Need a second professional opinion?
Are you involved with a legal matter, represented by counsel, and need a second professional opinion?
Gregg Y. Neal is available for consultation. This consultation will cost $1500.00 for a maximum of two hours of review with you. The fee is payable in advance and is nonrefundable. Additional time may be paid for if needed.
Sometimes, it is good to have an objective outside opinion to review your case and make suggestions, confirm results, help make sure you on the right track, clarify confusing legal issues, and give you some direction and peace of mind.
Mr. Neal would not be your lawyer in the case, and he would not engage with others on your behalf.
The consultation is for you and you alone.
Lawyers involved in litigation may also need a second opinion. Mr. Neal can consult with you and review aspects of the litigation that you require.

More Than a Résumé
After more than five decades in the law, my work today is focused on helping people solve problems rather than prolong them. Mediation, arbitration and consulting draw on years of courtroom experience, but also on something experience teaches over time: listen carefully, identify the real problem, evaluate the options, and find a practical way forward.
The caricature tells the rest of the story—law, problem solving, reading, writing, family, friends, music, and staying active. The objective, professionally and personally, remains much the same: keep moving forward.
