After nearly three decades as a successful trial attorney, Floyd Siegal, Esq. made the decision to transition from litigator to mediator in 2008. His passion for mediation stems from his many years in the courtroom as a civil litigator. He realized that the tactics he was utilizing with his clients were transferrable skills that he could use as a mediator. As a result, Floyd has handled hundreds of mediations and has proven to be extremely effective in gaining the trust, confidence and respect of those who have used him. Whether he is tackling claims against governmental entities, emotionally challenging sexual abuse or workplace harassment cases, professional negligence, personal injury or sophisticated business disputes, Floyd's ability to listen and his natural instinct for problem solving has enabled him to guide the parties toward a mutually acceptable resolution. An attorney on a recent mediation commented " Floyd was incredibly efficient and effective in resolving a difficult case that needed some extra attention to reach resolution. He really does go above and beyond to facilitate a settlement and he knows the art of closing a deal." A plaintiff in a recent mediation summarized Floyd's most important attribute, "Your clients are, I think, lucky to have you 'on both sides."
