Tom Caprio, caprio mediation services

As an attorney, you are aware of how effective mediation is in resolving disputes.

As an experienced mediator of three decades, I understand the importance of finding the right balance between your client’s legal needs and the need to settle the case in a timely and efficient manner.

My work for 18 years as Director of the Alternative Dispute Resolution office of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit has well prepared me to add value to an attorney driven mediation.

My goal is simple one: to better serve you by providing quality mediation service that has a high likelihood of settling the case efficiently and effectively.

Over the last three decades I’ve accumulated an excellent reputation working both within the legal community and in private practice. I look forward to putting my experience to work for you.
