Mediation & Arbitration

The firm offers mediation and arbitration services to both plaintiffs and defendants through its two Supreme Court Certified Civil Mediators for both circuit and federal court cases, as well as for arbitration and private trials.

Gary H. Larsen and A. James Rolfes are experienced, board certified civil trial attorneys, each with a broad range of varied practice experience. Details of their individual specializations may be viewed in the biography section of this website.

Our mediators serve the entire State of Florida and will travel the West Coast of Florida from Clearwater to Naples, inland to Lakeland and Sebring, with no charge for travel. Our firm offers a Sarasota facility second to none for serving the needs of parties wishing to mediate or arbitrate their disputes.

The firm has four conference rooms with wireless internet connectivity, video conferencing with audio and recording capabilities, as well as three dedicated flat screen monitors for the presentation of media, whether by PowerPoint, CD or DVD. The firm’s offices are located immediately east of the I-75 Fruitville Road exit, with hotels and restaurants nearby for the convenience of out of town participants.

At Dickinson & Gibbons, Mediation and Arbitration are not an afterthought to the practice of law, but a core commitment of the firm in advancing the efficient, cost-effective resolution of legal disputes.
