Mr. Silber's mediation practice focuses on cases brought in Florida. However, he offers his services wherever they are needed regardless of jurisdiction. Unlike an attorney, a mediator can practice anywhere. Since most services are available via Zoom, it generally does not make a difference where you are located or where your case is litigated. For in-person services, Mr. Silber assesses reasonable travel costs when travel outside of South Florida is required, such as for airfare and hotel accommodations. Please contact his assistant, Lia Gale, for details: 954-462-3636 or [email protected].
Mr. Silber is available for both Zoom and in-person mediations and arbitrations. That said, 95% of all mediations and arbitrations are conducted via Zoom. This became the industry standard when Covid-19 hit and it has not changed due to its tremendous convenience. However, if your case is unusually sensitive or requires an in-person proceeding because it is court ordered to be in person or for any other reason, Mr. Silber is happy to accommodate your needs.
