General  Information

          After having been a trial attorney for over 20 years, the majority of which has been in civil litigation, I decided to focus my law practice on mediation.  Although I had been mediating cases since 1998 while a partner at Bell, Schuster, Wheeler, & Hiers, P.A.,  I opened my law office of Davidson & Hiers, P.A. in October 2002 in order to devote my energy primarily to mediation.  Mediation now constitutes 100% of my practice. 

        An effective mediator needs to understand the issues.  I mediate in those areas that I have litigated.  These include personal injury, products liability, medical malpractice, construction, maritime and employment law; as I have tried these types of cases in both the Florida State and Federal courts since 1987.

             If you have already mediated with me, then you know that I am a firm believer in the mediation process as being the most effective and least expensive method of settling disputes.  Consequently, I take my role as a mediator seriously and work very hard assisting both sides in reaching a settlement. 

Location

             I have renovated a 1928 era house, conveniently located on Garden Street between “H” and “I” streets near downtown Pensacola, which combines the necessities of a modern law office with the comfort of a residential setting in which to conduct my mediations.  I have received numerous compliments on the comfortable atmosphere, both from the plaintiffs and the defense.  I have a large conference room which can easily seat 10 people (or more if necessary) along with teleconferencing capability.  Adequate parking is available both on the street and in the rear.  Additionally, a handicap ramp located in the rear parking lot allows for easy access.

             If you have mediated with me in the past, I would like to thank you, and look forward to mediating with you again.  For those with whom I have not yet mediated, I welcome the opportunity to mediate a case for you and your clients.
