Douglas D. Marks is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family and Circuit Civil Mediator and a Florida attorney with more than four decades of trial and litigation experience. Based in Indialantic in Brevard County, he has practiced family law since 1979 and mediates disputes for parties and counsel in Florida’s 18th Judicial Circuit and statewide through virtual mediation when appropriate. His high-asset divorce mediation experience includes marital asset and liability division, business and professional-practice valuation, alimony and support, real estate and investment assets, and related contested family-law matters. Mr. Marks’s experience as a trial lawyer informs a neutral, practical mediation process focused on helping participants understand litigation risk, evaluate financial and legal issues, and explore durable settlement options. His combined family-law and commercial-litigation background is particularly relevant when a divorce involves business ownership, significant assets, valuation questions, or other complicated financial interests. He has represented individuals, families, privately held businesses, publicly traded companies, and Fortune 500 companies in complex family and civil disputes. Mr. Marks earned his J.D. from the University of Florida College of Law in 1978, where he was a member of Law Review, and his B.A. from the University of Florida in 1975. He is a member in good standing of The Florida Bar and a former Chairman of the Eighteenth Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission.
