How does mediation work in Lee County?

Lee County hosts the Lee County Court ADR Program at the Lee County Justice Center, 1700 Monroe Street, Fort Myers, (239) 533-3353, according to the Twentieth Judicial Circuit's Administrative Order 1.16 [1]. The program assigns contract certified mediators to family, dependency, circuit civil and county civil referrals, while volunteer mediators handle small claims at the pretrial conference [1]. County civil cases up to $15,000 cost $60 per party for a 90-minute session, and there is no fee for small claims, residential evictions or dependency [1][2]. In family cases, parties earning $100,000 or more combined split the mediator's $150 hourly rate unless a staff mediator is used [1]. Once the program appoints a mediator, switching to private mediation requires court approval [1]. Certified private mediators near Fort Myers are listed below.
