Mediation & Arbitration
Ms. Lugo is a Certified Circuit Court Mediator and a Certified Arbitrator in the State of Florida. As a mediator, she relies on her twenty-five years of experience representing Plaintiffs and Defendants in negligence actions, business litigation, and contractual disputes. She understands the perspective of each party and works to resolve disputes with tenacity, respect, and patience.
“It is important to me, that the parties have agency and participate meaningfully in the decision-making process as they resolve their case.”
As an arbitrator, Ms. Lugo has sat on three-person arbitration panels and as the sole arbitrator in multiple cases. As is her custom, she takes time to pay close attention the evidence presented by both sides and to thoroughly read all materials submitted to arrive at a fair decision in the case.
