How does mediation work in Collier County?

Collier County's court mediation runs a little differently from the rest of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit: Administrative Order 1.16 assigns a Florida Supreme Court certified staff mediator to family, dependency, county civil and small claims cases referred to the Collier County Court ADR Program, with contract mediators used only when no staff mediator is available [1]. Small claims cases can also be mediated by volunteers at the pretrial conference at no charge [1]. Family sessions are $60 or $120 per party depending on combined income, consistent with Fla. Stat. § 44.108; if no proof of income is given, the $120 rate applies [1][2]. Cancel at least three full business days ahead to avoid a late fee [1]. The order lists the program at 3301 Tamiami Trail E, Suite 504, Naples, (239) 774-8704 [1]. Certified private mediators in Collier appear below.
